Mirror of Dew: The Poetry of Ālam-Tāj Zhāle Qā'em-Maqāmi

Persian poetry at that time was often used polemically and didactically, for a mass audience, but Zhāle did not write to be published. The poems, like the mirror, samovar, and other familiar objects we find in them, appear to be the author's intimate companions. Her poetry is deeply personal but includes...
