We are back with Niloufar Talebi's Top 7×7 list o We are back with Niloufar Talebi's Top 7×7 list of reads. Addressing to our Literature versus Pandemic question, she believes that literature can still bless people with an immediacy of communication. Born to Iranian parents in London, the Iranian-American artist Niloufar Talebi has been devoting her career to the promotion of Persian arts and literature, the results of which have brought her a number of fellowships, residencies, and awards including the National Endowment for the Arts Literature Translation Fellow (2015), a PEN American Center/New York State Council on the Arts anthology prize, the International Center for Writing and Translation award, the Willis Barnstone Translation Prize, and an American Literary Translators Association fellowship. Her translations of Ahmad Shamlou’s poetry were selected for a 2014 National Endowment for the Arts Literature Translation Fellowship. Talebi holds a BA degree in Comparative Literature from the University of California, Irvine (UCI), and an MFA from the Writing Seminars at Bennington College. She has also studied Performance Art at UCI, and Method Acting at the Shelton Studios. Among her recent Iran-themed publications are: Self-Portrait in Bloom [containing 30 of Shamlou’s poems translated to English, l’Aleph. 2019], “Memory of a Phoenix Feather: Iranian Storytelling Traditions and Contemporary Theater” [World Literature Today 83 (4): 49–53, 2009], Belonging: New Poetry by Iranians Around the World [North Atlantic Books, 2008], and contribution as a translator to The Book of Tehran [ed. Fereshteh Ahmadi, Comma Press, 2019]. Her most recent multidisciplinary project is an opera, Abraham in Flames, inspired by the life and work of the late Iranian poet Shamlou. #top7x7 #PersianLiterature #Parsagon_Podium #Persianliteratureintranslation #pandemicart #Parsagon #parsagonreview #ahmadshamlou
