Negar Rezvani is a young Iranian poet and political refugee. In 2013, at the age of 18, she sought asylum in Australia. Negar was forced to live in an offshore processing prison in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for over six years and is currently living with a community detention visa in Australia.
