An Evening of Persian Poetry – Change to the Advertised Programme for Wednesday 9 May 2012 Posted: 03 May 2012 02:57 AM PDT With regret we have to inform you that one of our Persian Poets, Partaw Naderi from Afghanistan, is now unable to travel to the UK in light of difficult family circumstances.   We are of course disappointed that Partaw cannot join us in Birmingham, but are delighted that in his place we welcome Iranian poet Azita Ghahreman, who writes in Farsi and is one of Iran's leading poets. She was born in Mashhad in 1962 and now lives in Sweden. Azita's work includes The Suburb Of Crows (2008), Forgetfulness is a Simple Ritual (1992), Sculptures of Autumn (1986), and Eve's Songs (1983). Her poetry has been translated into Swedish, German, English, Dutch, Arabic and Chinese. Her new book, Under Hypnosis in Dr Caligari's Cabinet, was published in Sweden in 2012.       Azita joins Shakila Azizzada and UK poets Mimi Khalvati and Sarah Maguire for a wonderful evening of bi-lingual Persian poetry. Not to be missed. Tickets are still available for this event.  £10 / £5. You can book at www.eventbrite.co.uk/event/2935055831 or find out more about the event at www.writingwestmidlands.org/2012/02/28/an-evening-of-persian-poetry/
