Mystical Poetry of Rumi in Persian & English

Mystical Poetry of Rumi in Persian and English

Maryam Daftari, Ali Arsanjani, Sharalyn Harris, Freddy Niagara Fonseca

Saturday, July 22, 2006, 8 p.m., Revelations Bookstore, upstairs.


Rumi, celebrated poet and mystic (1207-1273) of ancient Persia, is the subject of the next Candlelight Reading Series event on Saturday, July 22nd, 2006, 8 p.m. at Revelations Bookstore, upstairs, 112 N Main St, Fairfield, Iowa.


Rumi is one of the most highly regarded exponents of the Sufi mystical poetry tradition. He and that other great mystic/poet, Hafez, are well loved in Eastern countries and have become the most widely read poets in America.


In order to give you a feel for the sound and musicality of the original poetry, some of the poems will be recited in Persian, followed by translations in English. The readers are Maryam Daftari, Ali Arsanjani, Sharalyn Harris and Freddy Niagara Fonseca. Admission is free.


Please note that the series will present poetry of Hafez in August. Stay tuned.
