May this year bring you and yours peace and safety, above all else, and love, always love.

Don't miss this post-Nowruz event featuring our own much-loved first issue contributor Nava Derakhshani amongst other talents!

Congratulations, friend!

Even as the Nowruz team is working hard to recover from illness and move forward (thank you for your patience, readers and submitters) please take a moment to follow our friends at atmospheric quarterly!

به امید اینکه سال نوی‌ میلادی، سال گل دادن باشد، سال شکفتن و سال به ثمر نشستن آرزوها و امیدها. به امید مبارکی سال ۲۰۲۴ 🤞♥️

Forgive! Because of unexpected illnesses, we're somewhat behind on Issue Four decisions and planning. If you're waiting on us, we haven't forgotten you, and we genuinely appreciate your patience.

Motshakeram.

Happy, safe and above all healthy New Year to you all.

Wishing you all more light during these dark times.

Some classes coming soon at TheShipmanAgency shipmanagency.bsky.social plus some notes about it from my IG!

آمار بالای کارگران کشته شده و آسیب‌دیده
در جریان آماده‌سازی زیر‌ساخت‌های مسابقات جام جهانی پارسال قطر بسیار بحث‌برانگیز بود.

من با سی و یک هنرمند دیگر همراه شدیم و
توپ فوتبالی طراحی کردیم که برای آگاهی‌سازی در این باره و به نفع یک سازمان خیریه‌ حقوق کارگری به فروش رسید.

Congratulations, Siavash Saadlou !

نسرین ساعاتی پیش با سپردن وثیقه و قبل از برگزاری دادگاه و … از زندان آزاد شد.

Congratulations!

Bravo.

We can’t wait for this!

Three of my new poems which, coincidentally, explore a war-tinged childhood, are now available with Collateral Journal.

With all the tragedy and heartbreak happening in Middle East right now I hesitate sharing this from Odesa, Ukraine. But if I don’t—who will? This is what Russian Federation did to a school in Odesa today: completely bombed out.

thank you so much to Darlene Woodward who interviewed me about #goodgriefpetsbook for One Last Network's podcast. it's always such a joy to talk to people who get it.

Ten years putting on this gala for WordsWithoutBorders and I am still totally star-struck by the writers and translators who come out as literary hosts. This year is certainly no exception.
