## Bio

Shams Tabrīzī was born in 1185, a Persian dervish whose name means nothing until it collides with another's. He met Rumi in Konya and taught him in seclusion for forty days — a span that rewired the older poet entirely. Then Shams fled to Damascus. Rumi's "Divan-i Shams-i Tabrīzī" is saturated with reverence and loss, the absence of the teacher becoming the subject itself. Shams died in 1248. His tomb was recently nominated for UNESCO World Heritage status, a belated institutional nod to a man who left no writings of his own, only the shape of what he took away.
