Three very different poets in one volume, which works as an exploration of time and place, but maybe less well thematically. Having the same, talented, translator also proves disconcerting, as elements of the style seem eerily similar even though the styles are quite different. Hafez' mannered, opaque love poetry, the melancholic anger or lament of Jahan, and the in-the-face satire of Obeyd-e.
I enjoyed all three poets, and the introduction is informative and thought-provoking. But there's just ... limitations to poetry in translation. I'm glad I got a taste, but it doesn't feel like really understanding.
