Abstract
Abstract Forough Farrokhzad’s “Let Us Believe in the Beginning of the Cold Season” is an exploration of the poetic form of an elegy, encountering nuances of gender, sexuality, mourning, depression, and unrequited love within the containment of religious and cultural laws that dominate leadership in the Islamic country of Iran. Her poetry extends traditional boundaries of lament and elegy to explore oppositions of love and longing, birth and death, seasonality versus time’s continuance, and winter as entrance rather than ending.
