i fell in love with farrokhzad through my persian-farsi class in california. i recited “hadeeay” (in farsi) and received a standing ovation. her poetry moves me and im amazed to think that a woman this strong existed that long ago in an area of the world like that. her works truly touch me, and gave me a greater appreciation for the language.

I really love your web site. It’s great to see other Iranian-Americans reading and studying Farrokhzad, I always worry that she’ll be forgotten in the Diaspora who really seems more interested in classical and epic poetry. Thanks for the links!

There is a CD of Forough reading her own poetry in her own voice. You can find it through amazon or any of the sites that sell iranian CDs/books/etc… it might be a good alternative for those who would like to hear the poems in the original Farsi, but are not able to read Farsi.
