Muddy Shoes

This book provides a sampling of poems written in exile from 1986 to 1994, drawn from my previous books, “After the Silence,” “Sorrow of the Border,” and ‘Poems of Venice.” It covers both periods of my life in America, when I was still rummaging in the ruins of the lost revolution in my homeland, Iran, and when I finally came to terms with my new situation in Los Angeles. A postscript added to the poems describes these changes in detail.
