Download or read book The Forbidden written by Sholeh Wolpé and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1979 revolution, Iranians from all walks of life, whether Muslim, Jewish, Christian, socialist, or atheist, fought side-by-side to end one tyrannical regime, only to find themselves in the clutches of another. When Khomeini came to power, freedom of the press was eliminated, religious tolerance disappeared, women’s rights narrowed to fit within a conservative interpretation of the Quran, and non-Islamic music and literature were banned. Poets, writers, and artists were driven deep underground and, in many cases, out of the country altogether. This moving anthology is a testament to both the centuries-old tradition of Persian poetry and the enduring will of the Iranian people to resist injustice. The poems selected for this collection represent the young, the old, and the ancient. They are written by poets who call or have called Iran home, many of whom have become part of a diverse and thriving diaspora.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: POET & PRISONER... MAS'UD SA'D SALMAN Habsiyyat (prison-songs) & other Poems Translation & Introduction by Paul Smith Mas'ud-i-Sa'd-i-Salman (1048-1122) was born in Lahore to wealthy parents who originally came from Hamadan. In the beginning he was at the court of the prince of Ghazneh and governor of India Sayfu'-daula Mahmud and quickly progressed in wealth and honour. When he was forty he was thrown into prison after being wrongfully accused along with his patron of treachery by Sultan Ibrahim. He was in the fortress of Dahak for seven years despite his protests in the form of qasidas and then was imprisoned for another three years in the fortress of Nay. He wasn't released until 1096. On release he returned to Lahore and became the governor of Chalander. Soon he was imprisoned again in the fortress of Maranj, this time for eight years in the most appalling conditions. The last years of his life he became a 'Servant of God' or a Sufi and a bit of a hermit. He was a brilliant poet and scholar and learnt astronomy (in prison) calligraphy and military affairs (that often got him into trouble). His famous Habsiyyat, (prison-songs) are among the most interesting poems in the Persian language. He was always an optimist, despite his long prison terms. Sana'i praised him and collected his poems into a Divan and he was admired by Mu'izzi, Anvari, Khaqani and Nava'i. Along with hundreds of qasidas and qit'as and a handful of ghazals and other forms of Persian poetry and some prose Mas'ud Sa'd Salman composed about four hundred ruba'is.

Book Synopsis Poetry and Revolution by : Homa Katouzian
Download or read book Poetry and Revolution written by Homa Katouzian and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compiled by experts on the works of each individual poet, this book covers the poetry and poets of the Constitutional Revolution of Iran. Following a two-pronged approach, this volume studies both those who were influenced by the Constitutional Revolution in their works and those who addressed the Revolution with their work, influencing it directly. Through the analysis of their works, this volume explores influential poets and writers from the period, including Iraj, Vaziri, Afrāshteh, Yazdi, Bahār and ‘Eshqi. It covers female poets who are often overlooked, as well as the major satirical poets whose work educated and entertained the readers and criticized socio-political events. Analysing the mainstream and marginal poets, this volume argues the margins initiated the evolution of Persian poetry. As Persian poetry and its multifunctional legacy became the standard-bearer of the Constitutional movement, this volume is an important contribution to an understanding of Iran. This volume will be of interest to historians of the Constitutional Revolution and Iranian poetry, as well as to students and scholars of comparative revolutions. It is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate courses on Iranian history, Middle Eastern history and comparative studies of literature and revolution.
Book Synopsis Eyes in Times of War by : Ali Alizadeh
Download or read book Eyes in Times of War written by Ali Alizadeh and published by Folio (Salt). This book was released on 2006 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of poems speaks to an individual's place and emotions during war. The wars depicted in this volume - the 'history wars', the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s, 'the war against terror', 'the clash of civilisations', etc - form the background against which the speaker's language seethes and writhes. These fractured lyrics - or 'antiheroic couplets' - take place in a volatile space in the aftermath of ancient conquests and prior to future atrocities. Here the medieval Persian poet Rumi is seen escaping the Mongolian hordes; Satan debates Archangel Michael at the battle of Heaven and Hell; the Jewish thinker Walter Benjamin contemplates the Holocaust; an imprisoned writer becomes a saviour and a revolutionary radical is branded traitor; an account of the author's experiences of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and the war with Saddam Hussein is narrated; and contemporary Australia is seen as a nation engaged in an unremitting conflict against the land's original inhabitants and its Asian neighbours. History and a desire for peace form the central discourse of this book's poems that deconstruct the desire for war, undermine the beliefs in religious and cultural identity that often provoke wars, and advocate non-participation and a rejection of the glorification of 'us' and the demonisation of the 'other'. Also included in this volume are love poems and translations from works of Sufi mystics to show that the opposite of war is, if not always allowed, then at the very least imaginable in these times of hostility and conflict.

The authors explore the development of poetic genres, from the panegyric (qaside), to short lyrical poems (ghazal), and the quatrains (roba'i), tracing the stylistic evolution of Persian poetry up to 1500 and examine the vital role of these poetic forms within the rich landscape of Persian literature.

Download or read book A Cup of Sin written by Simin Behbahani and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simin Behbahani’s collection contains some of the most formative work of twentieth-century Persian literature. Written over almost a half-century, much of her poetry reflects the traumatic experiences that have shaped Iranian history: revolution and war. Behbahani balances artful inquiry and shocking realism in both her language and imagery to probe the depths of political, cultural, and moral oppression. In the traditional verse of the ghazal, she improvises with meter to echo and provide new interpretations.
Download or read book Prison Poetry written by D. Jerone and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-07-21 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people who have entered the prison system glorify life behind bars, and treat sentences of more than one hundred years as something worthy of boasting rights. However, while serving ten years, poet D. Jerone vowed that he would not get trapped in the revolving door of prison culture, to land back inside again and again. Prison Poetry is the first in a planned series of five powerful poetry books by Jerone that chronicle real, unvarnished life in prison, revealing it for the chilling, maddening, and utterly unglamorous existence it truly is. Once Jerone resolved to walk out of prison a changed man, he found strength and sanity in pouring out his complex emotions through poetry. Soon, other inmates sought him out to help them express their own feelings, which are also represented in Jerone's writings. Anger, betrayal, fear, hope, and joy are but a few of the reactions that resonated with the poet, as he looked back at his life in the outside world and looked ahead to freedom as a different man. Prison Poetry shares his many impressions of life interrupted so that others will benefit from his journey.
Book Synopsis Patronage and Poetry in the Islamic World by : Jocelyn Sharlet
Download or read book Patronage and Poetry in the Islamic World written by Jocelyn Sharlet and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-06-13 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Panegyric poetry, in both Arabic and Persian, was one of the most important genres of literature in the medieval Middle East and Central Asia. Jocelyn Sharlet argues that panegyric poetry is important not only because it provides a commentary on society and culture in the medieval Middle East, but also because panegyric writing was one of the key means for individuals to gain social mobility and standing during this period. This is particularly so within the context of patronage, a central feature of social order during these times. Sharlet places the medieval Arabic and Persian panegyric firmly within its cultural context, and identifies it as a crucial way of gaining entry to and movement within this patronage network. This is an important contribution to the fields of pre-modern Middle Eastern and Central Asian literature and culture.
Book Synopsis Strange Times, My Dear by : Nahid Mozaffari
Download or read book Strange Times, My Dear written by Nahid Mozaffari and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2012-01-13 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Arcade Publishing originally contracted this extraordinary collection of poetry and literature, the Department of the Treasury was attempting to censor the publication of works from countries on America’s “enemies list.” Arcade, along with the PEN American Center, the Association of American Publishers Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division, and the Association of American University Presses, filed a lawsuit in federal court against the United States government. Their landmark case forced the Office of Foreign Assets Control to change their regulations regarding editing and publishing literature in translation, and Arcade is proud to reissue this anthology that showcases the developments in Iranian literature over the past quarter-century. Since the Iranian revolution of 1979, the United States has been virtually cut off from that country’s culture. Despite severe difficulties imposed by social, political, and economic upheavals, as well as war, repression, and censorship, a veritable cultural renewal has taken place in Iran over the past quarter-century, not only in literature, but in music, art, and cinema. Over forty writers from three generations contributed to this rich and varied collection—or, to use the Persian term, golchine, a bouquet—one that provides a much-needed window into a largely undiscovered branch of world literature. In the wake of the Green Revolution and sweeping changes in the region, this particular golchine is more relevant than ever, and will bring literary enjoyment as well as a fuller understanding of a complex and ever-shifting culture.
