The issue editor, Sholeh Wolpé, provides a short biography of Farrokhazad, an accomplished Iranian poet from the mid-20th century who chose to abandon a traditional Iranian lifestyle. The zine includes photographs and the poem in its original Farsi and space where one can write their own translation.
