With Karima Shabrang
Language can be both a bridge and a wall between people and cultures. With fifteen authors from Iran and Afghanistan who live in Berlin, the publication Schicksalsanschläge (“Attacks of Fate”), selected and edited by Afshin Javadi Torshizi, offers a rare opportunity to gain an insight into Persian-language poetry from Berlin. Translated from the Persian by Kurt Scharf, the bilingual edition brings together poems by Ali Abdollahi, Shahla Aghapour, Hadia Armaghan, Faryar Asadian, Mohammadreza Haj Rostambegloo, Asef Hossaini, Afshin Javadi Torshizi, Mariam Meetra, Siavash Mirzade, Nasir Nadeem, Shahrouz Rashid, Musthapha Samady, Jalal Sarfaraz, Karima Shabrang, and Sada Sultani.
ICORN fellow Karima Shabrang will read from this volume on 29 June at 7 pm as part of the Long Book Night.
