One of the very first Persian poets was a woman (Rabe’eh, who lived over a thousand years ago) and there have been women poets writing in Persian in virtually every generation since that time until the present. Before the twentieth century they tended to come from society’s social extremes - many were princesses, a good number were hired entertainers of one kind or another, and they were active in many different countries—Iran of course, but also India, Afghanistan, and areas of central Asia that are now Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan.From Rabe’eh in the 10th century to Fatemeh Ekhtesari in the 21st, the women poets found in 'THE MIRROR OF MY HEART,' write across the millennium on such universal topics as marriage, children, political climate, death, and emancipation, recreating life from hundreds of years ago that is strikingly similar to our own today and giving insight into the experiences as women throughout different points of Persian history. The volume is introduced and translated by Dick Davis, a scholar and translator of Persian literature as well as a gifted poet in his own right.*PLEASE NOTE*:When you purchase this title the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.Running Time => 7hrs.©2019 Dick Davis (P)2021 Penguin AudioWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
