Niloufar Talebi
Born in London to Iranian parents, Niloufar Talebi is the quintessential Iranian on the edge of creation. With a BA in Comparative Literature from UC Irvine and an MFA in Writing and Literature from Bennington College, she is well equipped to tackle any of piece of literature. Instead she has chosen to use her personal experiences and love for language to make the world a smaller place.

She studied theater with Jean Shelton and Cyril Clayton and has produced and performed nationally. Her translations have been anthologized and published in Two Lines, Poetry International, CIRCUMFERENCE, Agni on-line and Harvard Divinity Bulletin, and she is the guest editor of the Spring 2006 issue of Rattapallax. She has presented at the PEN World Voices Festival of International Literature in NYC, The New School, The National Arts Club, St. Mark’s Poetry Project, Asia Society, the New York Public Library, Theater Artaud, Berkeley Repertory Theater, Actor’s Theater and Intersection for the Arts. She created "Midnight Approaches", a DVD of short films based on new Iranian poetry, as well as "Four Springs" and "ICARUS/RISE", multimedia theatrical pieces also based on new Iranian poetry. She is the recipient of translation prizes from the International Center for Writing and Translation (2004), the American Literary Translators Association (2005), the PEN/New York State Council on the Arts (2006) and the Willis Barnstone Translation Prize (2006). She is a member of ALTA, MESA and PEN American Center. She edited and translated BELONGING: New Poetry By Iranians Around the World (2008).
