It is moving to see this poem by Simin Behbahani. Your readers might want also to read this, "Banu, Our Lady," published ten years ago in Archipelago, in Persian and English: http://www.archipelago.org/vol4-3/behbahani.htm. It is "an expression of outrage by Simin Behbahani, author of over a dozen books of poetry in Persian and recipient of the Human Rights Watch/Hellman-Hammet grant, for her struggle for freedom of expression in Iran."
She is a great poet. We were honored to publish her.
