Themed gatherings of poets & poetry lovers to read, discuss, and workshop translations.
About this Event

Waste, beyond discarded remnants, embodies the excesses of holidays fueled by consumerism, the costs of funded wars, and the poignant neglect of marginalized individuals. Delve into the multifaceted layers of discardment and societal reflections in this theme. Formed during the Pandemic by poet and literary scholar Dr. Fatemeh Shams for faculty and graduate students at Penn, the event convenes poets, translators, and poetry lovers to share original work, translations, and/or works they love that honor a predetermined theme.

In this particular circle we will share and discuss existing and original translations, workshop works in progress, and be in community with other lovers of poetry, literature, and music. Works in non-English languages are welcome and encouraged.

For the readers: each reader has 15 minutes to read & welcome feedback and discussion.
All readings must adhere to the theme.
