Wednesday, April 22, 2026, 5:30-6:30 p.m., 555 Weiser Hall
IN PERSON ONLY.

Please join us for an evening of poetry in translation, featuring readings by members of our community—undergraduate students, PhD students, and faculty—in response to the past several brutal months in Iran.

This gathering aims to create a space for everyone—those with a connection to Iran and those who know little about it alike—to come together in the face of ongoing atrocities, including the 12-day war in June 2025, waged by Israel and the United States against Iran; the governmental crackdowns and killings in January 2026; and the second war starting on February 28, 2026, along with the many earlier moments that have led to what is currently unfolding.

*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
