[EAN: 9781556437120], Nouveau livre, [SC: 33.43], [PU: North Atlantic Books,U.S., Berkeley, CA], Paperback. Recent political developments, including the shadow of a new war, have obscured the fact that Iran has a long and splendid artistic tradition ranging from the visual arts to literature. Western readers may have some awareness of the Iranian novel thanks to a few breakout successes like Reading Lolita in Tehran and My Uncle Napoleon, but the country's strong poetic tradition remains little known. This anthology remedies that situation with a rich selection of recent poetry by Iranians living all around the world, including Amir-Hossein Afrasiabi- "Although the path / tracks my footsteps, / I don't travel it / for the path travels me." Varying dramatically in style, tone, and theme, these expertly translated works include erotic divertissements by Ziba Karbassi, rigorously formal poetry by Yadollah Royaii, experimental poems by Naanaam, powerful polemics by Maryam Huleh, and the personal-epic work of Shahrouz Rashid. Eclectic and accessible, these vibrant poems deepen the often limited awareness of Iranian identity today by not only introducing readers to contemporary Iranian poetry, but also expanding the canon of significant writing in the Persian language. Belonging offers a glimpse at a complex culture through some of its finest literary talents. Introduces the readers to Iranian poets. This book features the spirit of the Iranian of the 21st Century, citizen of the world. It includes erotic poetry by Ziba Karbassi, formal poetry by Yadollah Royaii, experimental poetry by Naanaam, protest poetry by Maryam Huleh, and personal epic by Shahrouz Rashid.
