Memories and Insights: Iran Through the Eyes of Peace Corps Volunteers
Edited by: John Krauskopf
| Memories and Insights is a legacy project of the Peace Corps Iran Association. This volume brings together thirty-one authors who served in the Peace Corps in Iran during the period from 1962 to 1976. Together their memories, essays, poems and travelogues create a picture of a culture with a long and storied history. How do Peace Corps Volunteers pick up on the classic Persian tradition of poetry? In this volume, returned volunteers will demonstrate. Where is the sky orange at night? What was the significance of an Aerogramme? Multiple uses of a refrigerator? Skiing on barrel staves? Discover the answers within. |

Mister rich man, rich man,
Open up your heart and mind.
Mister rich man, rich man,
Open up your heart and mind.
Give the poor man a chance,
Help stop these hard, hard times.
