Esmail Khoi is a leading Iranian poet living in exile. Since fleeing his homeland in 1983, Khoi has emerged as a most articulate poetic voice of the Iranian Diaspora. Courageously, even fearlessly, he has gone beyond chronicling his own life in exile to defend human rights and political freedom the world over. Khoi’s poetry bears eloquent testimony to his experience and thought, and to his life long quest for a more humane world.
