Her poetry at that time varied significantly from former persian poetic traditions. Farrokhzad’s poetry was banned for more than a decade after the Islamic Revolution. A brief literary biography of Farrokhzad, Michael Hillmann’s A lonely woman: Forough Farrokhzad and her poetry, was published in 1987.
