Farsi Poetry Night: From the fear of mortality to the longing for immortality

Why have human beings always longed for immortality? This talk explores one of humanity's oldest concerns—the fear of death and the desire to endure—through the lens of Persian and world literature. Together, we will discover how writers and poets across cultures have responded to mortality and the hope for permanence.

This event takes place in the the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the  the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. As a settler, I am thankful for their generosity and guardianship of these lands and waters.
