I purchased this book because of one wonderful poem by Jahan Malek Khatun, but the book itself is wonderful. The introduction to fourteenth century Persian literature was as intriguing as poems that followed.
I did like Jahan’s poems the most, honest and furious and tempting, and maybe I’m biased but it’s so clear they were written by a woman, especially in contrast with the poems of Hafez.
I wish someone could read to me the originals, accompanied by the music - to feel the rhythm, the melody, to understand the rhymes. The world would brighten up a bit, I feel.
