St. NW, WDC 20009. Come to the Langston Room for "No One Wants to Believe
the Garden is Dying: American poets against US sanctions on Iran."
The title of the event reflects the suffering the people of Iran have been
subject to since US president Donald Trump imposed new economic sanctions on
the country; the sanctions he himself has labeled as the “toughest ever.” Also,
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said that it is in Iran’s best interests
to toe the line and listen to Washington or else its people will pay the price.
According to United
Nations Special Rapporteur Idriss Jazairy, “these unjust and harmful sanctions
are destroying the economy and currency of Iran, driving millions of people
into poverty and making imported goods unaffordable.” Some well-known figures
in American and Iranian poetry such as Charles Bernstein, Pierre Joris and
Sepideh Jodeyri will recite their poems against US sanction on the people of
Iran with Persian classical music and slideshow. See https://www.facebook.com/events/1430708963731600/ or www.codepink.org.
