POETRYExplorations of a Persian transmigration inspired by the author’s memories of Iran during the 1970’s and her lifetime readings in the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. This volume offers a brief glimpse into the culture and history of Iran in lyrics spoken by transmigrated souls, beginning with a rooster who crows day-long on the banks of a Louisiana coulee. A non-traditional excursion into a culture 2500 years old, The Ultimate Pursuit includes a section of poems about Iran selected from Farda, published in 2009.
