| Résumé: | While often lauded for her groundbreaking poetry that challenged cultural and literary norms of her time, Forugh Farrokhzad is not commonly regarded as a poet who wrote of the sacred. In this paper, I build on the literary analysis of Fatemeh Keshavarz, who reads Farrokhzad's poetry as a form of "sacred-making," to consider Farrokhzad's poetic act of naming the sacred as an epistemic act that models a means of redefining the sacred outside of traditional, patriarchal interpretations. I discuss the implications of the individual act of naming the sacred as a form of producing religious knowledge in relation to the ongoing theological discourse within Muslim communities and more importantly, as a way defining one's relationship to the sacred. |
