Acclaimed translator Dick Davis breathes new life into the timeless
works of three masters of fourteenth-century Persian literature.
Together, Hafez, a giant of world literature; Jahan Malek Khatun,
an eloquent princess; and Obayd-e Zakani, a dissolute satirist,
represent one of the most remarkable literary flowerings of any
era. All three lived in the famed city of Shiraz, a provincial
capital of south-central Iran, and all three drew support from
arts-loving rulers during a time better known for its violence than
its creative brilliance. Here Dick Davis, an award-winning poet
widely considered 'our finest translator of Persian poetry' (The
Times Literary Supplement), presents a diverse selection of some of
the best poems by these world-renowned authors and shows us the
spiritual and secular aspects of love, in varieties embracing every
aspect of the human heart. A Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic
