5.0 out of 5 stars Scholarly yet readable and enjoyable, September 11, 2008

This review is from: A Lonely Woman: Forugh Farrokhzad and Her Poetry (Three Continents Press) (Hardcover)

The story of Furugh is given a scholarly treatment but this book also captures her spirit and voice. She was the most famous female poet in Iran and before her untimely death, was a spokesperson for artistic and personal freedom. A marvelous woman and poet and she and her work are treated with respect in this book.

Really enjoying reading beautiful poetry albeit translated, combined with political, social and cultural observations which put this compelling woman and her poetry in context.
