Written over almost half a century, much of her work reflects the traumatic experiences that have shaped recent Iranian history: revolution and war. In a balance of artful inquiry and shocking realism, Behbahani's language and imagery probe the depths of political, cultural, and moral oppression. In the traditional verse of the qhazel, she improvises with meter to echo and provide new interpretations. 132745 6 1999 A Cup of Sin: Selected Poems (Modern Middle East Literature in Translation Series) total:13|5:5|4:1|3:5|2:2| 13 48 20 1 5 0 false false Tue Jan 06 05:55:28 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 06 05:55:43 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 05 22:45:10 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 22:45:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 13 07:53:58 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 07:54:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 16 12:08:51 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 12:08:51 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 26 15:59:21 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 15:59:41 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Nov 25 05:37:26 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 25 05:37:26 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Sep 11 14:03:08 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 11 14:03:08 -0700 2008 0 0 true false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Thu Nov 08 08:15:49 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 08 08:16:08 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Sat Sep 15 14:16:26 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 15 14:16:26 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Tue Sep 11 16:31:47 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 11 16:31:47 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Mon Sep 03 05:13:06 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 03 05:13:06 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Mon Sep 03 04:42:05 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 03 04:42:05 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Sun Aug 12 05:36:09 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 12 05:36:09 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Mon Jul 30 13:51:02 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 30 13:51:02 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Mon May 21 08:27:44 -0700 2007 Mon May 21 08:27:44 -0700 2007 2 0 false false Tue Apr 10 08:53:53 -0700 2007 Tue Apr 10 08:53:53 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Mon Apr 09 02:11:33 -0700 2007 Mon Apr 09 02:11:35 -0700 2007 2 0 false false Fri Mar 09 11:49:05 -0800 2007 Fri Mar 09 11:49:05 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Sat Mar 03 09:41:33 -0800 2007 Sat Mar 03 09:41:33 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Wed Feb 21 12:43:48 -0800 2007 Wed Feb 21 12:43:48 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=137723
