Saleem Khan, Zahid Ullah, Dilawar Khan

Pashto-speaking poets from Pakistan join UK poets for a special evening of spoken word.

Join Saleem Khan, Zahid Ullah and Dilawar Khan as they introduce you to a form of poetry that is very popular in Pakistan.

These Pakistani poets fled the controls of the Taliban and censorship in their own country to return to the poetry of nature and the mountains that they hold dear.

With traditional Pakistani music and the passing of a candle, join us on the Clore Ballroom floor as we weave together words of the Pashtun language and contemporary British poetry.

Suitable for all ages. Held in the Clore Ballroom at Royal Festival Hall
