Diana Darab

Time Lost Diana Darab

Lost Time is Diana Darab's first collection of poetry. Originally written in English, the author later decided to translate the poems and release a bilingual collection. Some of the Farsi translations are not entirely faithful to the original versions; the author has taken the liberty to render the sense of some verses rather than individual words.
The Poems reflect on time, love and loss. Some of the poems have elegiac tone.
