In his poems of memory and displacement, Iranian poet Mohsen Emadi
charts his experience of exile with vivid, often haunting, imagery
and a child's love of language. Lyn Coffin's translations from the
Persian allow Emadi's poems to inhabit the English language as
their own, as the poet recasts his earliest memories and deepest
loves over the forges of being "someone who goes to bed in one city
and wakes up in another city." Alternating between acceptance and
despair, tenderness and toughness, he writes, "I wanted to be a
physicist," but "Your kisses made me a poet." Mohsen Emadi is a
powerful witness to life in the present times, and Standing on
Earth introduces a major world poet to an English-language
readership for the first time.
