A collection of poetry from acclaimed yet underrepresented Kurdish
poet Farhad Pirbal. Like his contemporary Abdulla Pashew, this
poetry is a chronicle of exile and displacement, longing and not
belonging. Poetry is in turns wistful and disoriented, reflecting
his role as dissident and persecuted prisoner."Poéte maudit" of
Kurdistan, Pirbal is known as well for his highly publicized antics
as for his prolific literary output. Pirbal, born in 1961, "may be
the greatest innovator of Kurdish literature in the twentieth
century, in both poetry and prose" (Shook, Poetry Foundation).
