Using a semiotic model of poetic change, Recasting Persian Poetry presents a critical history of the evolution of Persian poetry in modern Iran. Iran's contact with Europe in the nineteenth century produced largely imaginary ideas about European culture and literature. In a series of textual manoeuvres and cultural contestations, successive generations of Iranian intellectuals sought to recast the classical tradition in a mold at once modern and relevant to their concerns. In particular, Karimi proposes a revision of the view that sets the Modernist poet Nima Yushij as the single-handed inventor of 'New Poetry'. This view, he argues, has resulted in an exaggerated sense of the aesthetic gulf between the modernist poetry of Iran and classical Persian poetry. Through a number of close readings of works by Nima's predecessors, Karimi makes visible a century-old Persian poetic tradition with Nima as its culmination.

Iran and the Persian language have a rich poetic heritage, extending for more than a thousand years from the classical era of 10-17th centuries to the present day. The greatest classical poet was Shams od-Din Mohammad Hâfez and this imaginative selection opens with poets inspired by Hâfez; he then moves on to Yushij, Shamlu and other poets of the Shah's time, to the left-wing poets who rebelled against the Shah and also against the Islamic Revolution. Women poets are included, such as Forugh Farrokhzâd, Shâdâb Vajdi and Minâ Asadi. Mahmud Kianush also contributes a long introduction about Persian culture and language.

Recent political developments, including the shadow of a new war, have obscured the fact that Iran has a long and splendid artistic tradition ranging from the visual arts to literature. Western readers may have some awareness of the Iranian novel thanks to a few breakout successes like Reading Lolita in Tehran and My Uncle Napoleon, but the country's strong poetic tradition remains little known. This anthology remedies that situation with a rich selection of recent poetry by Iranians living all around the world, including Amir-Hossein Afrasiabi: “Although the path / tracks my footsteps, / I don’t travel it / for the path travels me.” Varying dramatically in style, tone, and theme, these expertly translated works include erotic divertissements by Ziba Karbassi, rigorously formal poetry by Yadollah Royaii, experimental poems by Naanaam, powerful polemics by Maryam Huleh, and the personal-epic work of Shahrouz Rashid. Eclectic and accessible, these vibrant poems deepen the often limited awareness of Iranian identity today by not only introducing readers to contemporary Iranian poetry, but also expanding the canon of significant writing in the Persian language. Belonging offers a glimpse at a complex culture through some of its finest literary talents.

Classical Iranian poetry is known and appreciated in the West. Scholars like FitzGerald, Brown, Arberry and Nickelson have presented the poetry of Ferdowsi, Khayyam, Rumi and Hafiz, with relative success, in English. Why not Modern Iranian Poetry? Is that because our modern poems lack the appeal of the classical Persian verse? Or because e previous translations of Iranian new poetry have been inadequate? Whatever the reason, the fact remains that contemporary Iranian poetry is alive and well today in Iran, and numerous poetry selections, collections, and anthologies are published and sold out each year and works of analysis and criticism of new poetry are in great demand. Modern Iranian poetry originates with Nima Yushij, who broke the stale conventional forms and meters, introduced variable rhythms and music, and expanded poetic idiom and diction, thus creating new modes of lyrical expression along with a fresh poetic vision. After him some poets gradually moved toward free verse and tonal language. It seems our new poetry is moving increasingly away from rhetorical devices, and closer to colloquial idiom and a lyrical sensibility fused with social, historical and philosophical awareness. My choices for this book are mostly lyrics, as this mode has the highest degree of universality. Hence Wordsworth's definition of lyrical poetry as the spontaneous overflow of powerful emotions recollected in tranquility. My hope is that books such as this may build a bridge of cultural communication and understanding between the two cultures, helping the cause of dialogue among civilizations.
