Born in Iran, Saghi Ghahraman, an Iranian poet, lives in exile in Canada currently. Ghahraman founded Gilgamishaan Books, and founded and operated the Exiled Writers Club for two years. Zhe has been running the Iranian Queer Organization (IRQO) since 2008. In this paper analyzing hir non-phallocentric, multilayered, and non-linear poetry, I contend that Ghahraman rewrites androcentric history within the public sphere of cyberspace, pushing back against the attempts to mute queer sexuality and desire within Iranian culture. My main goal here is to illustrate that Ghahraman gives voice to the historically unthinkable and unspeakable issue of Iranian women's bodies and voices breaking the deafening silences concerning the multiplicity of gender identities and sexualities. In this way, not only does Ghahraman assert hirself and hir desire, but zhe also liberates others who have been subjected to this historical silencing and suppression of their voices.
生于伊朗的萨吉·加赫拉曼是一位伊朗诗人，目前流亡加拿大。加赫拉曼创立了吉尔伽美什出版社，并成立和运营流亡作家俱乐部两年。自 2008 年以来，她一直领导伊朗酷儿组织。在本文中，通过分析其非菲勒斯中心、多层次和非线性的诗歌，我认为加赫拉曼在网络空间的公共领域改写了以男性为中心的历史，抵制了伊朗文化中压制酷儿性行为和欲望的企图。我的主要目标是说明加赫拉曼为伊朗女性身体和声音打破关于多种性别认同和性行为的震耳欲聋的沉默这一历史上无法想象和难以言说的问题发出了声音。通过这种方式，加赫拉曼不仅表达了自己的欲望，而且还解放了那些一直受到这种历史沉默和压制声音的人。
