Translations
Persian poetry in English
My own translations of three Persian poets, each presented facing the original — the Persian on one page, the English on the other, the way a bilingual edition reads.
حافظ
Hafez
Fourteenth-century master of the ghazal, whose divan remains the most beloved book of Persian poetry.
مولاناRumi
Thirteenth-century mystic poet of Balkh and Konya, whose verse turns longing into music.
سهراب سپهریSohrab Sepehri
Twentieth-century poet and painter of Kashan — quiet, modern free verse steeped in nature.
