One Hundred Nights of Yearning is a collection of poems by Mansour Noorbakhsh, composed from the year 2009 onward, with the exception of one poem written in 1981. These poems either bear witness to the wounds and outcries of the Iranian people over these years or reflect the poet's contemplations and introspections. Most of these poems are undated, as they express a pain that has echoed and repeated throughout all these years.
Mansour Noorbakhsh is a poet, writer, and translator, creating works in both English and Persian (Farsi), his native language. His writings advocate for freedom, human rights, and environmental awareness. He believes that dialogue between people across the world is essential for fostering peace, and that poetry serves as a powerful medium to amplify the call for human rights.
