We recently received word Iranian poet & activist Ali Asadollahi was imprisoned without cause by Islamic Republic guards. Roanoke Review published Ali’s poetry and interviewed him in 2020, we stand with him and his family, and we call for his release. #FreeAli #IranProtests #Iran
Photo of poet Ali Asadollahi, who was imprisoned without cause by Islamic Republic guards on November 21, 2022. Ali is a man with a beard and short, dark hair. He is sitting at a desk before a computer, and he has ear phones around his neck. He is leaning his head against his hand and looking at the camera.

"Miss you. Would like to take a walk with you." Gabrielle Calvocoressi (@rocketfantastic) Is it possible that Gabrielle Calvocoressi writes every poem for me? I feel them so hard. By the way, who is the poet who does that for you?
