From Desire to Disillusion
The three poems that follow depict a moment of transition in the course of topical poetry in contemporary Iran. The advent of the revolution caught many modernist Iranian poets off guard, particularly because it did not seem to confirm their vision of revolution. Secular and predominantly leftist, Iranian poets and writers anticipated a socialist revolution and were surprised at the revolutionary potential of Shicite Islam. These poems, written i…
Spaces and Moments of Exile

The very difficulties experienced by writers and critics immersed in two or more cultures have l…
Revolutionary Posturing
During those eventful days of early January 1979, after Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi of Iran had finally announced his intention to leave the country and the revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini had made his return from exile contingent on the shah's departure, a hemistitch by Hafez, the 14th-century Persian poet, suddenly appeared next to an array of revolutionary slogans on display in the streets of Tehran: “Div cho birun ravad fereshteh dar ā…
