After Tomorrow the Days Disappear

"Not only is After Tomorrow the Days Disappear a valuable addition to the corpus of world literature in translation, making available to a much larger audience poetry of one of the pioneers of a form that has captivated the Oriental and Occidental imagination alike, but it is also a timely book, appearing in English at a time when the world and its many ideologies needs it. While reading and appreciating this astonishingly beautiful poetry that has come to shape not only Indian and Indo-Persian cultures and literatures but culture and literature across all continents, let us not forget that its author was from a family of immigrants. On these pages, we read not only Hasan Sijzi but also a kind of history of migration. It is a somewhat ancient account of retaining as well as enriching one’s cultural identity in a foreign land, an account which also happens to be a very modern one." —3:AM Magazine 

"Enthusiasts of Persian literature, Translation Studies, Iranian Studies and South Asian Studies should be delighted at the news of this English language translation, 'the most extensive to date' in the translator’s words, of the poetry of Hasan Sijzi" —Middle East Studies Journal
