On a Persian Poetry Celebration in Tacoma: I'm thinking Persian roses & nightengales
The Persian arts, both poetry and music, are being celebrated in my town. Thanks, Deb, for passing on this item from the Arts Tacoma listserve. -gw
Monday June 21, 2010 from 6:00pm - 9:00pm.Enjoy food, ...music, and Persian poetry as United for Peace of Pierce County and People for Peace, Justice, and Healing hold a joint fundraiser in a beautiful enclosed rose garden in North Tacoma. We'll celebrate poetry that has deeply infused Persian culture and inspired many other cultures, including that of the West. Our celebration, with classical and modern poetry read both in English translation and in the original, will allow ample time for conviviality, music, and refreshment. A fascinating program will include Solh Tours founder Abdi Sami, cinematographer for "Life in Iran with Rick Steves."
