About Shabe Sher

Shabe Sher is a politically and religiously agnostic gathering formed solely
to better familiarize less than dexterous Iranian-speaking individuals with
the works of such superlative poets as Hafez, Rumi, Nima, Forugh and over a
hundred other great poets. The events are freely structured; that is, you
are not required to read, speak, or do anything whatsoever. Simply come
equipped with a deep passion for life and a voracious thirst for learning
about the Iranian poetry and culture.

Shabe Sher is regularly held on the second Tuesday (or Wednesday) of every
month at the Bowery Poetry Club.

If you wish to receive notifications for future gatherings and program
booklets of poems in advance, please email shabesher@hotmail.com and asked
to be placed on the Shabe Sher mailing list.

All submitted information will be held with the highest confidentiality and
under no circumstances will be shared with any third party organization. If
