GREAT GUNS, the much-anticipated first collection by Farnoosh Fathi, is a kaleidoscopic tour de force of raw lyricism. Its poems' speakers balance intense moments of humor and introspection as they go out into wilderness in search of truth and community.
Farnoosh Fathi was born in 1981. She's the recipient of fellowships and awards from the Poetry Foundation, the Fulbright Program, and the MacDowell colony, and her poems, translations, and prose have appeared in Boston Review, FENCE, Everyday Genius, Poetry, Jacket2, and elsewhere.
