My dearest English-Speaking readers (old and new):
Although all of the work I have published thus far is in English, I do, from time to time, write poems in my native language (Farsi) because in certain cases the true essence of what I try to capture and convey is best done in that language.
I thought about providing an English translation of the poems along with the original, but as you probably know, a lot gets lost in translation from one language to another. Especially in poetry, as the poem loses its delicate use of words and rhymes once translated.
The following two posts are poems written in Farsi because I could best capture their essence in that language.
If you are a new English-speaking reader, simply scroll down passed these two posts (or use the BLOG ARCHIVE navigation on the right) to read the content written in English.
