The first event in our Persian Poets' Tour sees all five Persian Poets read alongside their UK poet-translators at The Dylan Thomas Centre, Swansea.
Persian poetry is rightly famed for the richness of its heritage and many classical Persian poets, such as Rumi and Hafez, are famous across the world. But little is known about how contemporary Persian-language poets have continued to enrich and enliven their tradition, a gap that our forthcoming tour hopes to fill.
