The Autumn-Stricken Orchard is a bold collection of contemporary poems that explores life between cultures, memories, and identities. Written from a Persian-American perspective, these poems move through landscapes of exile, love, disappointment, humor, and quiet resilience.
With a voice that is both progressive and daring, the poet blends dark humor with moments of ordinary life, transforming simple experiences into reflections on time, loss, and survival. The poems carry the atmosphere of an orchard in late autumn-beautiful, reflective, and touched by the weight of passing seasons.
Rooted in cross-cultural experience, this collection brings together East and West, tradition and modernity, seriousness and irony. Some poems are sharp and provocative; others are intimate and contemplative. Together they form a unique poetic voice that finds meaning in both the extraordinary and the everyday.
The Autumn-Stricken Orchard invites readers to wander through a landscape of original thought, emotional honesty, and subtle humor-where even in the fading light of autumn, something truthful and unexpected continues to grow.
