Modern Poetry of Iran

Modern Poetry of Iran is an anthology of more than eighty-five acclaimed works of renowned Iranian poets. The book comprises Persian poems carefully selected and translated into English by Aziz Mahdi a Persian scholar from India.This collection gives powerful insights into Iranian society. While reading the poems there is a strong sense that instead of the poets writing the poems it’s poetry that is writing their lives. From God and nature to love and sorrow; from indulgence and denial to the subconscious and the abstract; these poems touch upon the various aspects of human existence and emotions.These poems are bound to make you yearn for more…Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted. —P.B. Shelley.
