Notes:
Poem. "First printing, summer 2004, published by Afra Publication (Canada) & Khoʹi Foundation (USA). Second printing, Spring 2020, published by Porsa Books." "Moosh-o-Gorbeh is, in its [14th century] Persian original, a narrative written in the form of a non-technical 'Ghassideh', easy in rhythm and easily conjured up in its rhymes. ...I have tried to convey the tale-poem in such a way as to make it sound, as far as possible, as if it had been written today and originally in English ... I have even added a few new characters to the story. The outcome is something I should wish to be regarded, not as a translation, but a recreation into English of Obeyd's work" -- Preface.
