The Mirror of My Heart: A Thousand Years of Persian Poetry by Women by Dick Davis

5.0

This book is definitely part of my poetry awakening.
If some of the voices stroke me more than others, the overall feeling was that of a journey accompanied by Persian women of different eras, and it was really pleasant.
There is at times wit, calling-out of cheaters, longings of the heart, sorrow, war, womanhood but also women stating their dissatisfaction in their love and sexual life.
