It was a privilege to read my poem in front of Anoosheh Ashoori at an inspiring evening put together by Amnesty International Dundee .

Thanks to everyone who attended our exhibition launch on Monday. It was inspiring to hear Anoosheh Ashoori's stories of resistance and resilience, Professor Ali Ansari's political insights, and a beautiful poem from Fife poet Marianne L. Berghuis to end the night. In the picture you see Anoosheh's gift to us - a pressed flower grown from the soil of Evin prison. The exhibition will remain in Central Library until the 28th of February.
