Amir Khalighi is the founder of Beloved Poetry. He is a poet in his own right — author of "Time Bends" and "Stay with Me" — and voices many of the renderings throughout this library.
Amir Khalighi founded Beloved Poetry as a home for these poems in spoken form — recordings meant to be listened to slowly, the way this poetry was originally shared: aloud, between people, not silently on a page.
Alongside the poets represented in this library, Amir is also a poet in his own right. His original poems, including “Time Bends” and “Stay with Me,” sit here as part of the collection. He voices many of the renderings you’ll hear throughout the site, credited individually on each poem’s page.
