Synopsis

Return is a selection of poems from 1978 to 2005 by Ala Khaki, an Iranian poet and writer, now living in New England. It is a mirror of emotions, shared universally by many in Diaspora, reflecting in verse anxieties, hopes, disappointments, the desire to set roots in the adopted land while longing for the day that dawning of freedom makes a return to the land of birth possible, and above all, an uncompromising love for humanity.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Ala Khaki is an Iranian-American poet, residing in Amherst, New Hampshire. Imprisoned twice in the infamous Evin Prison in Iran during the Shah’s regime for participation in the student democracy movement, he fled to America in 1978, following a tip from a military relative that he was on a death squad list. That same year all copies of his first book, From Here to Sunrise were destroyed by the Shah’s Secret Police. In 1981, he was the subject of a short documentary film titled “Resident Exile” by the celebrated documentary filmmaker and director Ross McElwee. Ala Khaki’s poems have appeared in Iranian literary journals including The Book Review, Par (Feather), and Thought and Imagination, and in American poetry periodicals and anthologies, including the 2010 Poets’ Guide to New Hampshire, and Poet Showcase: An Anthology of New Hampshire Poets. “Calling the Dawn”, a selection of his Farsi poems and “Return”, a selection of his English poems, were published in 1994 and 2005 respectively. He was a feature at the New England Poetry Conference in 2004 and 2005, sponsored by the University of Massachusetts in Lowell, and appeared in 2007 and 2012 on New Hampshire Poet Showcase, a project of the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts. Ala Khaki currently serves as the Treasurer for the Poetry Society of New Hampshire and continues to read throughout New England.
