An incredible collection of verse by women poets writing in Persian, many translated into English for the first time From Iran and India, to Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, from princesses and entertainers to anonymous wives and daughters, The Mirror of My Heart displays the extraordinary breadth of women writing in Persian. The 83 poets included in this collection - many translated here for the first time - traverse a thousand years: from Rabe'eh and her surprisingly sensual writing in the ninth century, to the powerful verse of Fatemeh Ekhtesari in the twenty-first. Review: Damaged item - I haven't read it yet but it arrived in a bad condition Ainda não li, mas chegou em péssimas condições, com danos na capa. Review: Beautiful Poetry - Beautiful and chronological poetry of Persian women. It begins with pre-Islamic poetry and continues into the modern era. I recommend it highly.

Meaning not lost in translation
A friend introduced me to this book...I quite liked the poignant words. Although translated...the poems have the impact. In terms of quality of the book...the paper is soft and the print is eye-friendly.

POD quality
It should clarify this is a Amazon print on demand book. Very bad quality print, the cover page is horrendous. It looks, feels, even smells like a cheap counterfeit.
