Bilingual, colour, illustrated edition. Political Prisoners | Iran | Poetry
Written in the wake of the 1980s massacres of political prisoners in Iran, Lives Lost: In Search of a New Tomorrow insists on the work of memory, critical thought, and imagination to resist the ‘forgetting’ forged by violence. Saeed Yousef’s acerbic, moving, and defiant quatrains, based on eyewitness accounts, subverts the classical form of the Persian ruba’i to testify to State atrocities.
This multi-genre, bilingual edition introduces Yousef’s historically significant poem to non-Persian speaking readers for the first time. Ahad Bahadori’s attentive translation, Ava Raha’s surrealist illustrations, and Dr. Shahrzad Mojab’s illuminating Foreword offer valuable perspectives on Yousef’s poem and the role of resistance poetry in the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution.
