In the years since her tragic death in a car accident at age
thirty-two in 1967, Forough Farrokhzad has become a poet as iconic
and influential as Lorca or Akhmatova, celebrated as a pioneer of
modernist Iranian literature and as a leading figure of
contemporary world literature. Farrokhzad, as Elizabeth Gray writes
in the preface, "remains a beacon to artists, especially women and
marginalized artists, who seek freedom in all its forms." This
thoughtfully curated, deftly translated selection of Farrokhzad's
poems includes work from her whole writing life, early to late.
Readers will thoroughly treasure this expansive poet of the
quotidian; of longing, loss, and desire; of classical reinvention;
of lexical variation and sonic beauty; of terrifying wisdom, hope,
and grief.
