【Expert Recommendation】

Farrokhzad writes for a civilized society in which the freedom of man is incomplete without the freedom of woman; she also writes for a life in which the freedom of the soul and the freedom of the body—individually, socially, and culturally—are inseparable. Her poetry bursts with longing and joy, shimmers with energy, desire, and beauty. —Adonis
