As a Muslim woman writing in Iran, Simin Behbahani's collections
contain some of the seminal work of twentieth-century Persian
literature.
Written over almost half a century, much of her work reflects
the traumatic experiences that have shaped recent Iranian history:
revolution and war. In a balance of artful inquiry and shocking
realism, Behbahani's language and imagery probe the depths of
political, cultural, and moral oppression. In the traditional verse
of the qhazel, she improvises with meter to echo and provide new
interpretations.
