Dan Boehl writes poems based on conversations, interactions, and outings he has with other fellows, their partners, and staff he encounters while on residency at the Akademie. This time: Amir Reza Koohestani
»The day Amir Koohestani and I started our fellowship, the cafeteria served an apple and bread desert whose name Philip Widmann translated as ›thing that snuggles in the oven.‹ Being a Persian director overseeing a traveling theater company, Amir joked about some techniques for putting foreign immigration and customs officials at ease.«
