"For us non-Iranian readers of Hafiz's 14th-century ghazal poems, Iranian attitudes toward the premier lyric poet in the 1,000-year history of Persian literature, are almost as intriguing as Hafiz's poetry itself.

Third is their linking of Iranian cultural identity with Hafiz's life and works to the point where some educated Iranians define part of their Iranianness by referencing Hafiz and even consider him a relevant political voice.

Michael Craig Hillmann, The University of Texas at Austin -Bahman Solati is Assistant Professor in Persian Language. He is the author of several publications, including Rubaiyyat-i-Hakim Umar Khayyam, and Persian Proverbs in three volumes.
