Is There a Poem That Feels Like Home to You?

Leili Anvar's story of how poetry, especially Rumi's, helped her find a sense of home away from home is touching.

Anvar left Iran at 15, but she carried with her more than just a suitcase; she carried the rich Persian language and its poetry.

This poetry became her comfort and a way to keep her homeland close, despite being far away.

Rumi's work, with its deep exploration of love, loss, and longing, especially resonated with her.

His poetry wasn't just words; it was music that spoke to the soul about the universal experience of seeking connection and understanding our place in the world.

Anvar's journey shows us how poetry can be a powerful companion through life's challenges, helping us find light in darkness.
