Reviews

""In this deeply researched volume, Farshad Sonboldel introduces us to a range of unknown and understudied Persian poets who have long merited more attention from scholars of world poetry. His skillful translations bring Persian poetry to life, and his nuanced exegeses give Mirzadeh Eshqi, Mohammad Moqaddam, Zabih Behruz, Shin Partow, Tondar Kia, Hushang Irani, and many other poets their rightful place in Persian literary history."" --Rebecca Ruth Gould, Distinguished Professor, Comparative Poetics and Global Politics, SOAS University of London, UK ""Sonboldel helps us appreciate anew the profundity of the aesthetic revolution in contemporary Persian poetry. The Rebellion of Forms challenges the prejudices harbored by many mainstream literary critics vis-à-vis some of the most innovative (and provocative) wordsmiths of 20th-century Iran."" -- Dominic Parviz Brookshaw, Professor of Persian Literature and Iranian Culture, University of Oxford, UK
