About us
Welcome to the Sydney Urdu Poetry Reading Circle! ✨
A space to experience Urdu poetry as part of the world’s great literary traditions—through shared readings, conversation, and a collective appreciation of language and form.
✅ You don’t need to speak Urdu or Hindi to join! This group is open to anyone who is curious to try out a poetic tradition.
✨ I will be organizing relaxed and inclusive poetry circles where everyone participates and learns.
✨ About me: I have a background in university teaching - computer science, logic and AI - and also love world cinema and literature. I have been fortunate enough to spend time among scholars of Urdu who instilled a love of poetry in me. With this meetup, I aim to bring together my love for Urdu poetry and my skill at facilitating discussion. I am also pursuing a PhD in AI + speech pathology from UNSW Sydney at the moment.
