Illuminated Verses - NYC

Illuminated Verses explores some of the rich and varied poetic traditions of the Islamic world. This series of programs, organized by Poets House and City Lore, runs through May 7. The series continues our exploration of humanity's shared poetic legacy and our celebration of poetic traditions from around the globe.

Organized by Poets House & City Lore and presented in conjunction with the Asia Society & Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC), Illuminated Verses is made possible through a special Bridging Cultures grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, with additional support from the Nathan Cummings Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
