    About this ebook

    Huma Bird is a phoenix that encompasses Iranian, Turkish and Urdu poetry traditions, thus reflecting the group. Find inside the passion of personal references of imprisonment, torture, the fight for human rights and identity; hear the rhythmic rap of youth pulsating for those here, those in Middle Eastern war torn regions; chuckle at the stories of Mualla Nasruddin, salivate at the chewing of 'tokhmeh' and 'ajil', breathe in the fragrance of olive and cypress trees, contradict your senses with a rose perfume and opium scents, even black roses; loll into the waves as they resonate the poems that lie behind them, enjoy the flight of the doves, the call of the nightingales, the poems of Huma Bird and Huma Bird Junior.
