Honored to share that Shape of Extinction: The Poems of Bijan Jalali, a collection I co-translated with the illustrious Dr. Aria Fani, was recently awarded the 2025 Lois Roth Persian Translation Prize. We are grateful for the support of Mahdi Ganjavi of Asemana Press, and could not have asked for a better publisher. We are also grateful to Amelia Ossorio for her art, featured on the cover and throughout the book, as well as Dr. Domenico Ingenito for his beautiful preface to our work.
