Let Us Believe in the Beginning of the Cold Season: Selected Poems by Forugh Farrokhzad
3.0
Beautiful attempt at translation of the persian poetry.
Can't really say wether I'm not a poetry fan or if I honestly did not enjoy the English translation of a work I could've put more effort into understanding and enjoying in the original langauge.
The collection was tragic, melancholic and in some parts, extremely liberal, there are many expressions of loss and grievance for one's old self and somewhat poetic longing for a partner that may change forms and at times could be none other than oneself.
