Song of a Captive Bird by Jasmin Darznik

 A poignant story about the Iranian female poet, Forugh Farrokhzhad, which describes her struggle to live, create, and publish her astounding poetry in the patriarchal society and totalitarian state of Iran under the last Shah. Forugh tells her own fictionalized story, enhanced by the inclusion of excerpts of her poetry, giving the reader a very visceral exposure to her remarkable life.
