Poetry Unbound · Poetry Unbound in Conversation — Haleh Liza Gafori · 4 Sep 2026 podcast

I'm very sad not to be there in person, but I'm uh very glad to um be involved from afar.

And I'm thrilled to be um in conversation today with one of the foremost um scholars and translators and reciters and embodyers.

Of Rumi.

Halle Eliza Kahri is a poet and she's a performer and she's a scholar and translator of Rumi who was a 13th-century Muslim mystic and poet.

Halle is of Persian descent, born in New York City.

That's where I am right now.

And she has sung and translated the poetry of various Persian poets for well over a decade.

She's the translator of Water, I've got this here, and Gold.

These New York Review of Books, magnificent um renditions of uh of Rumi's poetry done by her, and she's taught classes at many universities.

So, Halle, you are very, very welcome to Greenbelt.

Um, I know you're up in um also in the States at the moment, um, in the country of Vermont and you're gonna be doing a recital later on tonight.

Also in a field.

Wow.

I wonder if you'd be able to say a little bit about Roomy, um, just to give an introduction.

And my guess is that lots of people might know the name or heard a few quotes or heard somebody saying 'em, or seen 'em seen a quote from him put up somewhere in a retreat center.

But um I'd l I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about him.

A good palette of yours.

That's lovely.

In a while I'd I'm keen to hear how it is that you came across him, but there I just want to check in about his name as well.

So Rumi is uh what does Rumi mean?
