I’m currently trying to find out who Fatehmeh/Shahein Farahani is, as she doesn’t appear to exist (not to be confused with a children’s author of the same name), and the ‘book’ is a one page poem, which also doesn’t appear anywhere online that I can find.

Did you ever have any luck with this? I hunted in a university library and nothing. Found article on poets of the 1906 revolution- nothing.
