Details

Experience the beauty of poetry and the power of silence at the 12G Poetic Circle: Silence, a themed gathering of poets and poetry lovers. Hosted by Dr. Fatemeh Shams, a renowned poet and literary scholar, this event provides a platform for faculty and graduate students at Penn to come together and explore the intricate art of translations. Silence is not just the absence of sound; it holds within it the untold narratives of our lives, the strength found in quiet moments amidst chaos, and the depths of introspection waiting to be discovered. Taking place at the Twelve Gates Arts venue in Philadelphia on March 20, 2024, this event invites poets, translators, and poetry enthusiasts to share their original works, translations, and beloved pieces that align with the theme of silence. It is a space for deep discussions, workshops, and a sense of community among lovers of poetry, literature, and music. The 12G Poetic Circle: Silence embraces works written in non-English languages and encourages an exploration of the diverse world of poetry. Each reader will have 15 minutes to showcase their work, providing an opportunity for feedback and engaging discussions. Adhering to the theme of silence, all readings should resonate with the essence of this powerful concept. This event offers a unique and enriching experience for those passionate about poetry. Best of all, it is completely free of charge, making it accessible to all who wish to participate. Join us at Twelve Gates Arts and immerse yourself in the transformative beauty of poetry and the profound silence that echoes within it.
