A rich and varied collection of contemporary short stories, extracts from novels, and poetry that will go a long way toward informing the English-speaking world of the latest developments in Iranian literature. This sampling - or to use the Farsi term golchine, a bouquet - provides a window onto an important but sorely neglected segment of world culture. We hope it will also serve to awaken further interest in the work and in translations of Iranian novelists and poets.

Um poderoso homem sofre perdas irreparáveis e torna-se um colecionador de lágrimas. Despedaçado, decide penetrar os porões de sua mente em busca da sociedade dos seus sonhos. "'Não é possível', pensei. Em vez de se prostrar diante de Deus, ele o chamou para um debate, e ninguém previa o que seria discutido. Depois desse episódio, ele deixou de ser um vendedor de sonhos e passou a ser um ousado semeador de ideias. E nós, após presenciarmos seu "debate", nunca mais seríamos os mesmos.

Para invocar la nostalgia y hacer las paces con ella. Para evaluar las grietas y al final viajar hasta los cimientos. Para comprender por qué las ciudades hacen llorar y qué hacen con las lágrimas. Para reconciliarnos con el tiempo y acurrucarnos en la herida. Para reconocer que en los sentimientos está toda la fuerza. Para comprender que no hay una última palabra cuando todos los versos te encuentran.

Prelude to Bruise is a song from a tightrope, balancing ecstatic existence and the chaos that always threatens to engulf a life on the margins. How do we reckon our past without being ravaged by it? How do we use people, their bodies, to express ourselves? Danger is everywhere in these poems, but never overwhelms them; the poet is always an anchor on the other side. And his story carries us relentlessly along.

In this "devastating debut" (Publishers Weekly), poet José Olivarez explores the stories, contradictions, joys, and sorrows that embody life in the spaces between Mexico and America. He paints vivid portraits of good kids, bad kids, families clinging to hope, life after the steel mills, gentrifying barrios, and everything in between. Drawing on the rich traditions of Latinx and Chicago writers like Sandra Cisneros and Gwendolyn Brooks, Olivarez creates a home out of life in the in-between.

Manas ka hans is a brilliant attempt to bring forth the life of Goswami Tulsidas. The novel is an attempt to address the complications of religion through Tulsidas while portraying him as a person who was afflicted with all the virtues and vices known to human beings. How Tulsidas finds Shri Ram is a question that the author answers in a fashion that can only be termed brilliant, for lack of better word. The best thing about the work is that it doesn't attempt to glorify any God or deity but simply tries to go into the mind of the devotee - Tulsidas, in this case.

Besides a young Whitman, the circle included actor Edwin Booth; trailblazing stand–up comic Artemus Ward; psychedelic drug pioneer and author Fitz Hugh Ludlow; and brazen performer Adah Menken, famous for her Naked Lady routine. Central to their times, the artists managed to forge connections with Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mark Twain, and even Abraham Lincoln.
