‘Hairan is a unique, inspiring, deeply disturbing anthology of women’s furious courage and strength... A rich, illuminating volume speaking to the history of women’s protest in Iran and the power of poetry in dark times.’ - Ruth Padel  HAIRAN is a newly collected anthology of 76 poems by 76 women poets of all ages and from all regions of Iran.  Some poets are in prison, some in hiding, some in exile.  Many wrote in response to the attack on Iranian women’s life and liberty that began with the death of Mahsa Amini in Tehran in September 2022: arrested and killed in police custody for not covering enough of her hair in public.  The poems are accompanied by photos of the backs of a few of the poets' heads, uncovered.  The anthology is edited by an international group of Iranian academics and poets in exile, with an extensive introduction tracing the 1000 year history of poetry by Iranian women.  The Farsi-English translation was led by Ali Sobati and Daoud Sarhandi Williams. Alongside Sobati and Sarhandi-Williams, HAIRAN was edited by Sepideh Jodeyri, Sepideh Kouti, Anahita Rezaei, Abbas Shokri and Anna Krasnowolska.  Daoud Sarhandi-Williams, lead editor of the collection, is an award-winning, multidisciplinary film-maker and writer of Anglo-Indian and Pakistani heritage. His previous works include Bosnian War Posters and Ukraine at War: Street Art, Posters + Poetry. Daoud will be travelling from Barcelona to speak at this event and discussion. 'And do not relinquish the search  For that limitless light  So that in the street, stars  Morph into comets' Extract from 'This Place (...) Come join us for an evening filled with powerful poetry readings by Iranian women exploring themes of hair and freedom. This event will showcase the talent and creativity of these incredible poets, offering a unique insight into their experiences and perspectives.
