Bahar Hosseini was born in 1983 in #Saqiz#, East Kurdistan. I received a bachelor's degree in Persian language and literature from the university, I have a degree in photography from Iranian Youth Cinema.
One of my stories won second prize at the White Story Festival in the East. My play won an award in Diyarbakir called Brain Dance and my poem won the first-place prize at the Kevala Festival in #Erbil#.
In 2010, I left Iran for political reasons and lived in Erbil for five years. I worked as an announcer and news writer in the Persian section of Radio Dengi Kurdistan in Erbil.
I also worked on Tuesday nights reading novels in the book the Best Friend section on the same radio station. In Erbil, I published a collection of poems called A Cat in a Bag. The poems spoke of a feminine world, my doubts as a woman poet alone in a patriarchal society, and my national thoughts.
Later, in southern Kurdistan, I published another book, The Best Year of Your Life, which was a translation from Persian into Kurdish in the field of psychology.
Then I moved abroad. During my first years as a refugee, I published another book called Incomplete Stories, which was a translation from Persian into Kurdish. This new book is my fourth published book, with the name 52 Hz Whale.
It is a collection of 44 Kurdish poems written during my second refugee period. They describe my feelings and views about the new European society, myself as a Kurdish individual, the problems related to statelessness, confusion, depression, and fear. And looking for hope and jumping for any light just so that you can to get on your feet.
