Translate medival Arabic poetry with us!

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