Ten Poems of Hafez: Jila Peacock Scotland's International Poetry Festival

I was delighted to come across this exhibition at Stanza, Scotland's International Poetry Festival. Ten poems of Hafez: Jila Peacock.
Iranian-born painter and printmaker Jila Peacock has created Persian calligraphic shape poems using words from Hafez of Shiraz. In my ignorance I thought Shiraz was a wine grape variety but this work is equally intoxicating.

Jila Peacock

Calligraphic Poem by Jila Peacock.

Hafez horse poem.

Ten Poems from Hafez.
Hafez (d. 1390) is Iran s premier and most quoted lyric poet. His status in his own country, and his universal appeal, can be compared with that of Shakespeare in the English-speaking world. The painter and printmaker Jila Peacock has chosen ten love poems from Hafez and following the footsteps of the great Islamic calligraphers, has produced ten shape-poems that sit by her own translations from the Persian. Accompanied by Robert Hillenbrand's erudite introduction and a foreword by Parvin Loloi, this book is an exceptional achievement, a celebration of the marriage between word and image.
