In celebration of National Poetry Month, The New York Public Library hosts vocalist and poet Haleh Liza Gafori for a discussion of her latest translations of Rumi's lyric poetry in Water with prize-winning poet Maya C. Popa.
Water expands on Gold, Gafori's inspired and widely praised translation of the lyric poetry of the Persian mystic Rumi. As in Gold, Gafori renders with fluid grace and moving immediacy these indisputable masterworks of world literature, drawing on the deep well of Rumi’s work to bring out the worldly wit and wisdom that accompany his otherworldly summons.
