Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Peter Ganim delivers a masterful performance in 'Strange Times, My Dear,' capturing the essence of each poet's voice with remarkable nuance. His deep, resonant tone lends gravity and emotional depth to the often somber themes of the poems. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for moments of reflection that are crucial to understanding the complex emotions at play. However, some poems could have benefited from a bit more variation in delivery, which might have enhanced their impact further. Overall, this audiobook is a compelling exploration of contemporary Iranian poetry and a testament to Ganim's talent as a narrator.
