Suzie Ziai and Iraj Adibzadeh’s take on Shafii Kadkani’s contemporary poetry put to music and translated for English speaking lovers of Persian Poetry
Poetry is the most notable and celebrated art of the Persian people. Although the works of the great classical poets of Iran, such as Rumi, Sa’adi, Hafiz and Khayyam, among others, have often been translated into various languages, contemporary Persian poetry, which bears it’s own special nuances and characteristics, has for the most part not been translated with the excellence it deserves.
