This is right in line with what I'm learning in this summer institute on middle eastern culture. Just gorgeous, and you notice that the calligrapher is Sudanese? Beautiful, beautiful.

::nodding:: Noticed he was Sudanese. I was really surprised by the one of the girl; the zoomorphic I figured might evade the whole image form, but the girl startled me. Just lovely, though! That class your'e taking sounds *wonderful*, by the way!

The husband of one of my classmates in the summer institute knows Hassan Musa, but she had never seen his work. I ran off copies of the addy with a short description of the entry, and passed them out this morning. Dr Payind is a specialist in Persian poetry, and I knew he would find the shape poems interesting.
