ABOUT MY NEW BOOK

Transformational poems of liberty, exile and celebration of life
Award winning poet Hiva Panahi was first published at age thirteen in her native Kurdistan in today's Iran. Her involvement from a young age with culture, social justice and women’s rights led to persecution by the Iranian government and eventual exile to Athens, Greece. With an exceptional lyrical subtlety and gentleness, she transforms tremendous pain and loss into a depth of feeling for humanity and nature, the true essence of love and the faint rays of hope in the horizon.
Will be publish soon in NY, US
