Language: Persian
This collection brings together poems whose language of vision is in immediate, unmediated dialogue with objects, nature, and the surrounding world.
The world of being reaches the author’s eyes and ears through a visual, space-transcending language; in arranging words, he strives to become a full-length mirror of the tangible immediacy of what he hears and sees. In the selections of this volume, the poet neither binds himself to any particular literary style nor claims to have created a new one. Rather, he has not shied away from experiencing and testing the turbulent unconscious, allowing ambiguity and multilayeredness to render the poems more open to interpretation for the attentive, poetry-loving reader.
The fragmentariness of dreams—dreams that breathe independently of the poet and awaken to set the respiratory stammer of language flowing across the page, extending its wounds and bleedings into the outer world. Voices that are heard but not truly listened to. At times, silence becomes so overwhelming that, in its very wordlessness and soundlessness, it expresses itself fluently, like poetry. The interaction of human and nature in the absence of language; the bird and its fearful closeness to the author; the gaze as a shared, peace-seeking language in the world of existence; and the intertwining of solitude and nostalgia—these constitute the narrative of this volume. This collection is the fourth book of poetry by Hadi Ebrahimi Roudbaraki to be published outside his homeland.
