from Mike Simms the editor of Vox Populi:
Great poem, Majid. I’ll post it to appear later. Since it is an elegy of a specific person, would you like to include a brief bio of Ezzat? I think the poem would mean more if the reader knew a few details. M.
Ezzat Tabaian my wife was executed on January 7, 1982 in Evin Prison and buried in a mass grave in the Cemetery of the Infidels in Tehran.
You may read about her here.

Majid jaan
Don't know how many times i have read this piece. But somehow, and this is strange, it is as if I am reading the poem the first time in my life.
Best,
Nasser
from Lillian Boraks Nemetz:
Dear Majid
I could envision myself
At the “Feast” partaking
Of memories as the dessert
Of consciousness.
Wishing you the very best
For a creative year ahead.

Thanks, it is a kind of heartbreaking poem for me....I became very sad when I red it and my heart have broken. Sorry for all the pain that you tolerated during these years.

So beautiful. Heartfelt, loving, potent, powerful - as are all your poems.
Majid, you are a wonder. This touches me deeply.
