Timeline

1943

Mina Assadi (born March 12, 1943) is an Iranian-born poet, author, journalist and songwriter who lives in exile in Stockholm, Sweden.

She is known for writing about controversial and provocative subjects, especially when she describes the fight against the Iranian government.

1992

Ten days before the great Iranian cultural personality and singer Fereydoun Farrokhzad was brutally murdered in Germany on August 7, 1992, he had a poetry evening.

This evening interspersed with poems, songs and political statements.

There, Fereydoun compared his late sister, the greatest contemporary poet of Iran, Forough Farrokhzad, to Mina Assadi.

A statement that was filmed and became the last video with Fereydoun before his death.

“In the time we live in, there are other Iranian poets like Forough as well… Simin Daneshvar, Simin Behbahani, Mina Assadi to name a few.

In Stockholm, Sweden, where Mina Assadi is located I asked all the intellectuals in the hall, 500-600 Iranians, why they treat Mina Assadi badly?

For Forough that is no longer alive you gather, but you pay little attention to Mina Assadi who is still alive… she is also a Forough… with white hair, without any makeup, she lives a painfully difficult life in exile… but no one pays attention to her and instead they down her.

Have you ever heard that there was a memorial evening to honor Mina Assadi?

Have you heard of one?

Neither have I. She is a poet of the Persian language.

One of the great female poets of our time.”

Mina Assadi has also been compared to other Persian poets like Simin Behbahani (who as well is a Hellman/Hammet Grant winner) and Parvin E'tesami and Swedish poets Karl Vennberg and Edith Södergran.

1996

2007

In 2007 she wrote the poem called "Pimps" (Djakesha).

It caused a lot of discussion for being too vulgar.

The poem is about those who live in Iran and in exile who have forgotten the struggle.
