At the Poetry Club, we will be translating the poetry collection Diwan Afif al-Din al-Tilimsani from Arabic to English, on four occasions during this spring.

The work we are translating is written by the poet and mystic alTilimsani, active in medieval Andalusia and North Africa. This period is often regarded as a golden age of the mystical tradition within Islam known as Sufism. Intermediate level of proficiency in Standard Arabic is recommended. 

We provide coffee and tea.

Welcome!

Dates:

13 February at 1–2 p.m.
13 March at 1–2 p.m.
17 April at 1–2 p.m.
15 May at 1–2 p.m.
