I am 35 years old and was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but I have been living in Europe for more than a decade. Thanks to my proximity to the mountains, I make the most of my free time hiking, climbing, and skiing, and exploring the Swiss Alps. I am a lifelong language and literature enthusiast and always have a classic novel, poetry collection, or historical book tucked away in my backpack. From time to time I also enjoy writing original poetry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">My first real encounter with Persian culture was in 2010 after becoming close friends with several Iranians while studying abroad in Germany. The goal of one day learning Farsi was planted in my mind, but it lay largely dormant due to academic and professional obligations until 2020, when coronavirus-related lockdowns left me with much more free time than usual. Inspiration arose from limitation, and I downloaded a few language-learning apps to make a proper attempt at learning Persian.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">After building up some basic vocabulary, I was able to make much more progress thanks to the help of Ali Najmi, a fellow engineer and language instructor working remotely from his home in Indonesia. Once I had basic conversational fluency, I sought out a handful of online language-exchange partners to help further my progress, mainly offering my assistance preparing for English exams in return for help with Farsi. When it comes to learning a language, the best approach isn\u2019t necessarily the fastest or most efficient one, but rather one that keeps you motivated. For me, that is reading and translating poetry with the help of my Iranian friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Over the past two years, I have explored and translated a broad selection of Persian poetry, ranging from medieval to modern, elegant to obscene, and protests for peace to political propaganda. My translations are intended to provide an English-language echo of the Persian originals, reflecting as much of the beauty, sonority, structure, and meaning as possible. As with any translation, compromises are inevitable, but it is my sincere hope that the reader will derive as much pleasure from reading these poems as I have from translating them.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" dir=\"rtl\"><b>\u0631\u0648\u0632\u200c\u0647\u0627\u06cc\u202d \u202c\u0622\u062e\u0631\u202d \u202c\u0622\u0628\u0627\u0646<\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\" dir=\"rtl\">\u0627\u062b\u0631\u202d \u202c\u067e\u0627\u0646\u062a\u0647\u2009\u0622\u202d \u202c\u0635\u0641\u0627\u06cc\u06cc\u202d \u202c\u0628\u0631\u0648\u062c\u0646\u06cc<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" dir=\"rtl\">\u062f\u0631\u062e\u062a\u200c\u0647\u0627\u202d \u202c\u0647\u0645\u0647\u202d \u202c\u0639\u0631\u064a\u0627\u0646\u202d \u202c\u0634\u062f\u0646\u062f\u060c\u202d \u202c\u0622\u0628\u0627\u0646\u202d \u202c\u0634\u062f<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" dir=\"rtl\">\u0648\u202d \u202c\u0628\u0627\u062f\u202d \u202c\u0622\u0645\u062f\u202d \u202c\u0648\u202d \u202c\u0628\u0627\u0631\u0627\u0646\u202d \u202c\u06af\u0631\u0641\u062a\u202d \u202c\u0648\u202d \u202c\u0637\u0648\u0641\u0627\u0646\u202d \u202c\u0634\u062f<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" dir=\"rtl\">\u202e\u00a0\u202c<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" dir=\"rtl\">\u0646\u064a\u0627\u0645\u062f\u06cc\u202d \u202c\u0648\u202d \u202c\u0646\u0686\u064a\u062f\u06cc\u202d \u202c\u0627\u0646\u0627\u0631\u202d \u202c\u0633\u0631\u062e\u06cc\u202d \u202c\u0631\u0627<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" dir=\"rtl\">\u0643\u0647\u202d \u202c\u0645\u0627\u0646\u062f\u202d \u202c\u0628\u0631\u202d \u202c\u0633\u0631\u202d \u202c\u0627\u064a\u0646\u202d \u202c\u0634\u0627\u062e\u0647\u202d \u202c\u062a\u0627\u202d \u202c\u0632\u0645\u0633\u062a\u0627\u0646\u202d \u202c\u0634\u062f<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" dir=\"rtl\">\u202e\u00a0\u202c<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" dir=\"rtl\">\u0646\u064a\u0627\u0645\u062f\u06cc\u202d \u202c\u0648\u202d \u202c\u062a\u0631\u06a9\u202d \u202c\u062e\u0648\u0631\u062f\u202d \u202c\u0633\u06cc\u0646\u06c0\u202d \u202c\u0645\u0646\u202d \u202c\u0648\u202d &#8230;
