Having written in both Persian and Swedish, she brings to her Persian poetry a rare perspective on language and loss-illuminating the fragile threshold between silence and speech, home and displacement, memory and renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these radiant translations, drawn from Mossaed's eleven Persian collections, we enter a world where exile becomes a form of vision.
