Bahar Almasi

Bahar Almasi is a Toronto-based poet/cultural activist. Born in 1985 in Tehran, she is convinced that nursery rhymes and childhood poems are what intrigued her to pursue a career in poetry from an early age. Since her first published poem at fourteen, she has continuously published her poems, along with short stories, short plays, translations, and articles within and outside of Iran. Her passion for cultural activism has also lead her to make radio documentaries and podcasts, and participate in theatrical projects. She has also collaborated in establishing Kaanoon Toronto (a Persian poetry society in Toronto) and multiple book-reading campaigns.
