Education and career[edit]

She studied Dramatic Literature at the Tehran University of Art and later received an MA degree in English literature from Tehran University.[1]

Her debut collection of poems, This Dead Body is Not an Apple, It Is Either a Cucumber or a Pear, was published in 1997 and announced a major new voice in Iranian poetry. The book opened Persian poetry to new creative possibilities.[2]
