Unrevolutionary Times

Unrevolutionary Times, Dr. Houman Harouni's exhilarating debut collection, takes us on a journey of archetypes like no other in English-language poetry. What happens to the revolutionary soul in times when no revolution is at hand? Mixing contemporary poetic freedom with traditional Persian rhythm and form, Harouni supplies his readers with the opportunity to examine the context of their lives through the figures that often go unnoticed among us. With a contemplative universal perspective reminiscent of Wallace Stevens and Adonis, this collection will unearth the questions your heart asks but cannot speak.
