From Thornwillow Patrons’ Prize-winner Sahar Muradi, Thornwillow presents “Ask Hafiz: A Migration Story Told Through Poetic Divination.”
Ask Hafiz is the story of one family’s forced migration, but in its blend of traditional poetry and personal narrative, a kaleidoscopic text unfolds. This is the story of family, of community, and of language itself. The ancient words of Hafiz-e Shirazi, used, paradoxically, to divine the future, create an indelible link across time; a leatherbound book, smuggled across borders and oceans, maintains a precious tie to the faraway homeland.
