One Hundred Nights of Yearning

“One Hundred Nights of Yearning” is a collection of poems by Mansour Noorbakhsh, composed from the year 2009 onward, with the exception of one poem written in 1981. These poems either bear witness to the wounds and outcries of the Iranian people over these years or reflect the poet’s contemplations and introspections. Most of these poems are undated, as they express a pain that has echoed and repeated throughout all these years.
