Twenty Irish Love Poems & a Grecian Lament Written in the English Language by a Persian Poetess, (Paperback)

As its Neruda-inspired title would suggest, Alaleh Mohajerani's debut poetry collection, Twenty Irish Love Poems & a Grecian Lament (Written in the English Language by a Persian Poetess) is, at its core, an homage to the transnational romantic relationships of the 21st century. Set against a globalized romantic backdrop, Mohajerani, herself a global nomad with a third culture upbringing, moves fluidly between California, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Greece, but without ever losing touch with the inimitable poetry of her native Iran.
