'Poetic speech is a pearl, connected to the king's ear.' This
statement gestures to words as objects of material value sought by
those with power and resources. The author provides a sense for the
texture of the Persian world by discussing what made poetry
precious. By focusing on reports on poets' lives, they illuminate
the social scene in which poetry was produced and consumed. The
discussion elicits poetry's close connections to political and
religious authority, economic exchange, and the articulation of
gender. At the broadest level, the study substantiates the
interdependency between cultural and material reproduction of
society.
