Majid Naficy: "On Tuesday April 1st 2008 my friend Harriet Tannenbaum passed away at age 91 in Hollywood.

I met her at UCLA in 1993. She helped me with the editing of both collections of my poetry "Muddy Shoes" and "Father and Son" as well as my doctroal dissertation "Modernism and Ideology in Persian Literature" as had been acknowledged in the preface to these books.

On March 20, 1997 when in celebration of Persian New Year I organized a poetry reading called "Persian Poetry in Los Angeles" in Beyond Baroque literary center, Venice, in which five Iranian poets, the late Nader Naderpour, Partow Nuriala, Mansour Khaksar, Abbas Safarri and I read our poems in English. Harriet read Naderpour's poetry on his behalf in English and was much admired by him. She helped me to come at peace with my new homeland as can be seen in this poem which I wrote in 1997.

from Hugh:

Thanks, Majid. Blessings for both your mothers.

Best regards

from Esther:

I remember this sweet poem from some time ago.

from Lillian Boraks Nemetz: 

A lovely poem about a child always wanting to connect with its mother even if it is through the process of re incarnation.
Touches the heart.

Thanks Majid
Stay safe and well

Lillian
