Mehdi Mousavi Interview – Iran, Repression, Poetry & Exile<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mehdi Mousavi shares poems shaped by life as an enemy of a brutal regime, and introduces his forthcoming collection The Last Kiss<\/strong> \u2014 a powerful reflection of the pain that many Iranians live under, and Mehdi\u2019s own experience of persecution, prison, and exile. Interviewed by Fatemeh Ekhtesari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet the Translators – Persian to Norwegian \/ Iran to Europe<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, his translators \u2014 Gunstein Bakke and Samuel Tongue \u2014 join Fatemeh Ekhtesari to discuss what it really takes to carry a voice across languages and cultures. How do you give a Norwegian audience the same emotional experience felt by Iranian readers \u2014 and help them understand why the regime feared this poetry? What gets lost in translation \u2014 and what must never be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
