Shadi Angelina Bazeghi is a Danish-Iranian poet and translator. She made her debut with Vingeslag (2015), followed by Flowmatic (2020), a long poem exploring language, technology, memory, war and repression. Her poetry moves between the intimate and the political, combining experimental forms with scientific and philosophical references. Bazeghi’s work is concerned with violence and with language as both material and force: what it can reveal, conceal and create between people. She has translated works by, among others, Sadegh Hedayat and Forugh Farrokhzad into Danish.

Shadi will be reading at the free IMPACT POETRY event on Friday, Sep 11, from 16.00-16.20.
