Edited and translated by the internationally renowned poet John
Kinsella and the Iranian-born poet and translator Ali Alizadeh, Six
Vowels and Twenty-three Consonants is a groundbreaking new
collection of poems presenting the wealth of poetic voices from one
of the world's most important literary cultures. The book covers
poetry from the early Middle Ages to the Modernists and
Postmodernists of the 20th and 21st centuries. No other culture in
the world has produced such quantity and quality of mystical poetry
and true spiritual vision as the Persian tradition. In this poetry
there is an effulgence of meaning; nearly every word resonates with
chords of allusion and multiple signification. Whether we read a
modern poet or one of the classics, this resonance reaches back to
the beginnings of the tradition, and it touches us today.
