Beschreibung:
Born in Iran, and now an American citizen, Sholeh Wolpé is an award-winning poet, literary translator, and writer.
During the 1979 revolution, Iranians from all walks of life fought side-by-side to end one tyrannical regime, only to find themselves in the clutches of another. When Khomeini came to power, freedom of the press was eliminated, religious tolerance disappeared, women's rights narrowed, and non-Islamic music and literature were banned. Poets, writers, and artists were driven deep underground and, in many cases, out of the country altogether. This moving anthology is a testament to both the centuries-old tradition of Persian poetry and the enduring will of the Iranian people to resist injustice.
