Akram Monfared Arya, the flying poet, has the watchful eye of the true aviatrix. She takes her readers to dizzying heights with poetic pirouettes that can make you feel a touch of vertigo, then lands you softly and safely in a way that only an experienced aviator can. She writes with a sense of humor and a non-judgemental way about important issues that touch us in many ways. She looks down on our landscape from her flying machine, from green valleys to golden deserts and beautiful oceans in all their nuances of color. Akram Monfared Arya was born in Tehran in 1946. She is considered to be one of the most active Iranian women to date.
