Two Poems by Hasti
Read two new poems by London-based poet Hasti, weaving together influences from Hafez to alternative hip-hop, Black poetry, and Iranian cinema. Titled 'Future-La' and 'Yek Atash', these vulnerable poems see the speaker absorbing unfathomable turbulent change in a world where 'we've hewn a home ... in empire's gut'. With an illustration by Simone Khanyi Hadebe.
