Edited by Farzaneh Milani, Kaveh Safa
Part of the Middle East Literature In Translation series
Paperback / softback
Description
Simin Behbahani’s collection contains some of the most formative work of twentieth-century Persian literature.
Written over almost a half-century, much of her poetry reflects the traumatic experiences that have shaped Iranian history: revolution and war.
Behbahani balances artful inquiry and shocking realism in both her language and imagery to probe the depths of political, cultural, and moral oppression.
In the traditional verse of the ghazal, she improvises with meter to echo and provide new interpretations.
