Zohreh Zadbood
I'm an Iranian writer, poet, photographer and new media artist who brings stories to life through narratives across various platforms. I specialize in writing fiction, screenplay and poetry, doing Photography, and orchestrating digital media that enhance storytelling impact.
Currently, I'm working on my solo interdisciplinary exhibition where I blend poetry and photography. Moreover, I'm working on my forthcoming novel and debut poetry collection. Recently, my poem was accepted for the forthcoming Summer 2025 issue of The Kenyon Review, which was a great milestone. In my writing I explore themes of love, healing, homesickness, self-love and solidarity.
My work has been featured in various publications such as Los Angeles Press and Coalition and showcased in exhibitions in New York and London.
In addition to my literary and visual artistry, My dedication to environmental causes reflected on my photo collection titled "Beneath the Blooms: Capturing Nature's Delicate Splendor." This collection was featured on the 'Elizabeth Street Garden' official website, contributing to the important cause of protecting this cherished garden.
My name, Zohreh, holds a special place in classical Persian poetry, where it symbolizes the planet Venus—an iconic representation of the lover. This profound connection, discovered later in my journey after I began writing about love as a teenager, continues to inspire my work to this day.
