Iran’s most famous & misunderstood poet

Are you ready to understand Hafiz?

It’s well known that Hāfiz is Iran’s most famous poet. Nearly a thousand years after his life, the bard of Shiraz stirs the hearts of all Persian speakers, old and young, religious and secular, a visit to his grave, among the most famous tourist sites in Iran, evidences this. Like all beloved artists, Hafiz’s work has taken a life of its own. It can be hard to demystify the poet, to clear away the fog and truly see him and his work. We’re here to change that. Join us as we uncover Persia’s Shakespeare, one couplet at a time. Meeting time: Saturday 10:30 AM Eastern. No Persian knowledge or prior experience is required to join. After signing up, you will be emailed a stable Zoom link.
