Saffron Dreams is Aliakbarkhani's fourth poetry collection that explores cultural expectations, immigration, and the inevitable struggle of trying to reconcile one's identity in the West with roots firmly planted in the East. Saffron Dreams shares equal parentage with hope for the future and the importance of remembering one's past. In her lyrical and delicate poetic style, Aliakbarkhani grasps at hard topics--like cultural erasure, religious persecution, women's rights--from the gaze of the middle eastern diaspora. Her powerful imagery transports readers to the mountains of Alborz, the shores of the Caspian Sea, and the bustling bazaars of Tehran, before returning them home in comfort. Saffron Dreams is an intimate celebration of identity and culture that takes readers to far away lands while meeting them deeply in the familiar with love.
Saffron Dreams is an offering of chai and dates. A family tapestry bound in white pages. A literary homecoming.
