Starting this Tuesday: Haleh Liza Gafori on Rumi

“Perhaps it is [Rumi’s] elusiveness, his leaps and paradoxes, the challenges of them and the invitations they offer, that attract so many readers and translators to his text.” —Haleh Liza Gafori
Read and discuss Rumi’s poems about divine love, heartache, ecstasy, and liberation with Gafori, the first Iranian American female poet to translate Rumi’s ghazals into English.
