… The Mirror of My Heart edited by Dick Davis book review - TLS. (Hat tip, Rus Bowden.)

Translated by Dick Davis, a renowned scholar of Persian literature and a poet in his own right, The Mirror of My Heart examines the work of over eighty female Persian-language poets from the past thousand years. Most of those included are from present-day Iran, but many are from other parts of the Iranic world, such as Afghanistan and Tajikistan, as well as the “Persianate” world, as in the case of India. To add to the diversity of the selection, a number of these poets are not even of Iranic stock or native Persian speakers. In addition, some of those living are currently based outside their respective countries.
