If you’re in New York, or will be Wednesday of next week, come join Persian Arts Festival as we revive the tradition of Shab-e She’r, A Night of Persian Poetry, at the Bowery Poetry Club. Yours truly will be hosting. Our featured reader, acclaimed Iranian American novelist Nahid Rachlin, will read from her new memoir, Persian Girls. An open mic will follow. All are invited to read, in Persian and/or English, either their own work or the work of a favorite Iranian/Persian writer. All work that is read, however, should relate to Iran, Iranians outside of Iran or Iranian/Persian culture. To sign up for the open reading, send an email to PAF’s Literary Arts Director, Richard Jeffrey Newman: poetry@persianartsfestival.org.
