Loved this collection. It really was the perfect type of poetry for me. Still felt accessible while also having more challenging language. I really enjoyed the simplicity of some of the statements in providing a three dimensional quality to the poetry.

I don’t remember how to say home
in my first language, or lonely, or light
I remember only
delam barat tang shodeh, I miss you,
and shab bekheir, goodnight.

I read the ebook on my phone so I don't know that I had the proper breaks and pauses, or that I saw these poems in the format they were intended for, but the prose is amazing nonetheless.
