Another Birth and Other Poems (English and Persian Edition)

I have been enjoying this book. The translation is good and I liked the extra information about the author.

Good book, but one of the most famous poems is missing because a chunk of pages were not included in the print.

Breathtaking, deep, moving beautiful sublime poetess..

GREAT!!!

Worse thing about this book is complete ignorance of Forough’s relationship with her younger brother, Fereydoun, who was also a poet and an important person in Iran’s mind.Forough had a close relationship with Fereydoun and while Fereydoun was studying in Germany, she has written several letters to him. We can’t see even one in this book!

An immediately powerful emotional collection of poetry. Forugh Farrokhzad’s poetry takes the reader on her personal journey that saw her not without significant personal cost. Break free from the traditional restrictive chains of a male-dominated culture. The tool she used was poetry, and in poetry, she found her strength and refuge. Forugh’s Poetry explores themes of love, eroticism spirituality and repression, with dignity and sensuality that connects directly to the reader's soul. This book provides alongside Forugh’s poetry letters and interviews that give the reader not only the details of her life but her personal sacrifice to her art. Forugh Farrokhzad was and is pure poetry.

“I plant my hands in the garden....and in the hollows of my ink stained fingers swallows will lay eggs”

i love that book because the poems touches one and make me consider about my life and the world

Every thing arrived timely, in great condition, and this book is a gem - truly magnificent - her poems are experiences!
