HAFIZ’S FRIEND - JAHAN MALEK KHATUN

Persia’s Greatest Female Poet.

Translated by Paul Smith and Rezvaneh Pashai.

This is the only translation into English of Persia's greatest female poet ... a princess, pupil and friend of Hafiz, petite and beautiful and outspoken and controversial (imprisoned for 20 years) and writer of over 2500 ghazals, ruba'i and other poems about human and mystical love and desire and suffering and the miraculous, tragic, terrible but glorious times in which she lived. Her Preface to her book is a remarkable document of being a female poet and feminist in Persia (Iran) in the 14th Century!

Included are a long Introduction by Paul Smith on her Life and Times and her relationship to Hafiz and Obeyd Zakani and a Foreword by Tehran-born woman, translator and admirer of Jahan, Rezvaneh Pashai.
