Throughout the history, there were several hubs of Persian Poetry, that left a huge impact on the course of Persian Language and Literature. The diversity and geographic spread of these hubs go beyond today’s border of Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. In this session, we want to reflect on the poetry of some of those cities and regions, including those which were less discussed.
Coordinators: Dr Leila Raei - PhD in Persian Literature Dr Meysam Khataminia - PhD in Persian Literature Amir Bajehkian

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.
