Book excerpt: Fereshte Teyfouri's writings focussing on Sufi thought and mystical concepts are presented with the original Persian texts and an English translation to introduce her poignant view of existence to a wider audience. The poetic miniatures muse on existentialist concepts, stemming from the perspective of her life in Iran and later Germany - and a visceral sense of not belonging - but with the dilemmas of alienation and displacement counterbalanced by the sentiments being expressed using Sufi terms, but sometimes from the standpoint of inanimate objects: tar, blotting paper, the cleansing nature of an eraser. Fereshte Teyfouri, lecturer in Persian at the Westfalische Wilhelms-Universitat, Munster, Persian author and editor, translator for the German courts. Natalie H. Shokoohy (translator) architectural historian.
