For the second part in our series of conversations with the authors featured in “My Shadow Is My Skin: Voices from the Iranian Diaspora,” Assal sat down with Darius Atefat-Peckham, an up and coming poet whose contribution to the anthology, “Learning Farsi,” is a reflection on his mother’s passing when he was just 3 and the Iranian identity she handed down to him.
