Zan is an expedition through the assimilation of a first generation Iranian-American woman. It offers readers a journey through the contradictions, divinity, depression, madness, and beauty that are intertwined within the collective immigrant lineage.

Despite being composed of singular poems, the work as a whole tells a complete story. Exploring expansive unwrapt themes such as identity, race, Persian culture, clouds, snakes, childhood, suffocation, surrender, genocide, colonization, god, the Church, fruit, adulthood, adolescence, the ocean. Stylistically, the poetry offers dialectical and thought-provoking opinions while maintaining a juvenile sense of play to afford readers the opportunity to immerse and interrogate within themselves the duality that exists within the diasporic perspective.
