Farsi Poetry Night: Likoo - Shortest form of Oral Poetry in Iran and around the world (by Mansour Alimoradi)

Likoos are the shortest oral poems in the world, formed within Baloch culture. They are very brief lines that express feelings such as love, longing, or separation in just a few words. In this session, we will become familiar with this type of poetry, talk about its origins and structure, and read a few examples together. Presented by: Mansour Alimoradi

Hosts: Dr Leila Raei - PhD in Persian Literature Dr Meysam Khataminia - PhD in Persian Literature

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.
