Join the editor of the recently published anthology of Iranian poetry, Belonging: New Poetry by Iranians around the World (Random House, 2008), Niloufar Talebi as she performs from her work.

"Born in London to Iranian parents, Niloufar Talebi is the quintessential Iranian on the edge of creation. With a BA in Comparative Literature from UC Irvine and an MFA in Writing and Literature from Bennington College, she is well equipped to tackle any of piece of literature. Instead she has chosen to use her personal experiences and love for language to make the world a smaller place. Her energy and enthusiasm is infectious. Her "Translation Project" has already won 4 major US translation awards. Not only is Niloufar's work visually stunning, it is also accessible by all. She is bringing much needed attention to Persian poetry and writing, paving the way for an Institute to support Persian literature." -Shabnam Rezaei, editor Persian Mirror
