Twenty Irish Love Poems & a Grecian Lament Written in the English Language by a Persian Poetess

As its Neruda-inspired title would suggest Alaleh Mohajerani's debut poetry collection Twenty Irish Love Poems & a Grecian Lament (Written in the English Language by a Persian Poetess) is at its core an homage to the transnational romantic relationships of the 21st century. Set against a globalized romantic backdrop Mohajerani herself a global nomad with a third culture upbringing moves fluidly between California Ireland the United Kingdom and Greece but without ever losing touch with the inimitable poetry of her native Iran.
