🦅 Our first poetry workshop from our collaboration with the Aga Khan Centre starts this Saturday! Join April Yee to explore the thin line between art and poetry through this poetry and collage workshop. Inspired by the Aga Khan Centre’s Canticle of the Birds exhibition—itself rooted in The Conference of the Birds, the 12th-century Persian poem by the Sufi poet Farid ud-Din Attar—this workshop series continues the exhibition’s spirit of translation and transformation. Lovers of words in all languages welcome—poets and non-poets, translators and non-translators. Book now from the link in our bio. See you there! 🦅 #wemakecamden #canticleofthebirds #poetrytranslation #agakhancentre #poetrytranslationcentre #poetry #translation #translatedlit #londonworkshops #london #camden

🦅 Join us this May for three poetry workshops at the Aga Khan Centre in Camden with April Yee, Leo Boix and Elhum Shakerifar! Inspired by the Aga Khan Centre’s Canticle of the Birds exhibition—itself rooted in The Conference of the Birds, the 12th-century Persian poem by the Sufi poet Farid ud-Din Attar—this workshop series continues the exhibition’s spirit of translation and transformation. Across the month, we’ll explore poetry through collage, alongside a collaborative translation workshop in the PTC’s signature style (where many of our now-legendary translators got their start!). Lovers of words in all languages welcome—poets and non-poets, translators and non-translators. Book now from the link in our bio. See you there! 🦅 #wemakecamden #canticleofthebirds #poetrytranslation #agakhancentre #poetrytranslationcentre #poetry #translation #translatedlit #londonworkshops #london #camden

I’ve been buying books with a strange hunger. I want people to have the luxury of doing nothing but reading. There is nowhere left to go.
