Why we do this

Persian poetry is one of the great treasures of world literature, yet for many readers it sits behind a wall: children of Iranian families who grew up abroad, learners of Persian, and English readers who know Rumi or Hafez only through loose adaptations.

These books are our way of opening that wall. Every poem is printed in the original Persian with an English translation line by line, so a reader can follow either language, or both, and a QR code beside each poem plays it aloud. The children's books teach the alphabet and first reading with audio on every page, so the language can be passed on at home.

Ebooks cost $5 and print copies are sold at close to cost. The audio, and many of the texts, are free to read and hear online at farsi-poems.com and farsikids.com.
