با یاد #نصرت_رحمانی، شاعر بر

با یاد #نصرت_رحمانی، شاعر برجسته معاصر

The most challenging task in writing on Nosrat Rahmani’s poetry is to render the uniqueness of his poetical compositions in comparison with other forms of Iranian avant-garde poetry...Rahmani viewed poetry as a pre-existing linguistic setting, which makes it impossible for the latecomer poet to be entirely free from poetical structures that are imposed on his process of creation. However, he never ceased to challenge and complicate the literary legacy of his ancestors that he had adopted with his own daring innovations in his ingenious practice of poetry.
Born in 1929 in Tehran, Rahmani started his career in the Ministry of Post, Telegraph, and Telephone. Later, he joined the state radio, and then started to work as a journalist, contributing to some of the well-known magazines of the twentieth century including Ferdowsi (فردوسی), Tehran, Pictorial (تهران مصور), White and Black (سپید و سیاه), Hope for Iran (امید ایران), Woman of Today (زن روز). Rahmani began his professional poetry practice in the early 1940s. His debut poetry collection, Migration (کوچ), was published in 1954 and brought him instant fame. With Desert (کویر), and Termeh (ترمه) he established his poetic career and gained recognition as an avant-garde poet during the 1960s and 70s... He was familiar with both the superstructure of rhyme, a legacy from the classical ancestors, and the contemporary Nimaic poetry. Rahmani borrowed the rhyme from the classic poetry and altered the length of the lines as Nima had started to do so in his contribution to Iranian modern poetry. However, he did not invest entirely on the legacy of both classical and modern ancestors. Rather, he combined the blend of classical and modern poetic forms with unusual poetic themes shaped by rarely-used words and phrases in Farsi. The result is a distinct experience of avant-garde poetry and an autonomous language that overcomes the anxiety of influence.
