This is Tannaz Taghizadeh, born in Tehran, Iran, I came to Toronto Canada 11 years ago, fell in love with this city, the love got bigger year by year. having had the background in literature back in Iran, I searched for poetry readings in Toronto, and followed the art bars' poetry nights and got the courage through Fraser Sutherland, Canadian poet to read some of my own at the open mic section of Tuesday nights, through those readings, I found my way to Kenneth Sherman's poetry workshops, which made me more courageous to submit some of my poems. 

I also translate from English literature to Farsi, over 12 short stories have been published in different magazines in Iran, USA and Canada and a collection of my translations of short stories is under publication in Iran as well. I also translation poetry from English to Farsi and also from Farsi to English, my ambition is to introduce Canadian poetry to my fellow Iranians specially back In Iran  also bring some English translation from modern Iranian poets to Canadian readers.
