More DescriptionElaheh Farmand grew up in Tehran until age 11 when she moved to America with her mother and father. She grew to become nostalgic for her country; nostalgia became ingrained in her, following her around like a permanent shadow. In her poems, she writes about womanhood in Iran and America, about nostalgia, about her parents, about love and heartbreak. She hopes that in a time where "immigrant" is a frowned-upon status, people can be inspired by her poetry to embrace immigration, to realize that home is right here in our hearts. No matter our culture or language, nostalgia, heartbreak, and love are all universal.
