Poetry, in this gathering, is not a performance but a way of being — a practice of staying with what is tender, unfinished, and real. With Danusha Laméris, Haleh Liza Gafori, and Pavi Mehta, the conversation moves through grief, devotion, illness, music, and memory, listening for how language arises from the body and how loss and love coexist without canceling each other out. Danusha began writing poems from heartbreak after a succession of profound losses, returning again and again to the question of how we begin again in daily life. Haleh brings Rumi into the present as relationship rather than relic, dissolving boundaries between poetry, music, and devotion. Pavi weaves poetry, generosity, and lived vulnerability into a practice of seeing, where heartbreak becomes a teacher and presence becomes care.
