Korean and Iranian poets will gather at an event in Iran next week to recite and discuss each other’s poetry.



Three Korean poets Kim Hu-ran, Shin Dal-ja and Jang Seok-nam will be meeting with Fatemeh Rakei, one of Iran’s most influential female poets, and Mohammad Ali Bahmani, who has received both popular and critical acclaim for his works.



The poets will recite each other’s works and discuss the poetry and literature of their countries. Students from the University of Tehran will recite Persian-translated versions of the Korean writers’ poems. A Q&A session will also take place.
