 Sima Daad from the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Washington feels that the creative merit of Kiarostami 's adaptation of Sohrab Sepehri and Forough Farrokhzad 's poems extends the domain of textual transformation . Adaptation is defined as the transformation of a prior text to a new text . Kiarostami 's adaptation arrives at theoretical realm of adaptation by expanding its limit from inter @-@ textual potential to trans @-@ generic potential .
