+ Want to read

This collection brings together poems by Sohrab Sepehri, one of the best-loved Persian poets of the twentieth century. His verse moves easily between the everyday world and quieter, more mystical landscapes, with recurring images of water, trees, light and open fields. Written in a clear, unhurried voice, the poems invite the reader to slow down and look closely at ordinary things, and they reflect the poet's lifelong interest in painting, nature and the spiritual meaning of the world around us.
