Mehr news agency Department of Culture and Literature – Javad Sheikh Al-Islami: Ahmad Shirvani was born in 1376, lives in Isfahan and is originally from Bakhtiari. The ghazal collection “Aghaz Binami” was recently published by this young poet by Surah Mehr Publishing House as one of the selected works of the “Matla” literary period. On the pretext of publishing this collection, we had a conversation with Shirvani to talk about his poetic path and his first poetry collection.
The description of this conversation follows;
* Mr gable what became come in space literature severe
Since middle school and high school, I was very familiar with Hafez’s poetry and read Hafez a lot. My interest in poetry started from those days and I wrote my first poems in middle school. Later, when I grew up, I participated in poetry societies of Isfahan and worked more on poetry in those workshops. Actually, the time when poetry became more serious for me was when I was a student, when a teacher named Mrs. Dr. Rahmatifar helped us a lot. It was there that I took a more serious look at poetry and participated in more poetry evenings and literary programs.
These activities continued until I got acquainted with the period of sunflowers. Sunflowers was a training course that worked seriously and professionally on young talents, and this course completely changed my poetic path. Because the model used by Adab city was new and they accompanied the poet step by step on the path of writing poetry and teaching poetry.
* About Camps Sunflowers and an effect that Roy poetry you and other poets Young had Let’s talk more. Is there a special component in these camps?
Sunflowers have reached their eleventh or twelfth period and each period lasts one year. I think I participated in the seventh period of sunflowers. If I want to mention the role of sunflowers in the education and development of young poets of the country, I must say that this period broke a big barrier between young poets and literature professors. Before Adab city, young and novice poets had no contact with great poets and poetry professors, and this contact was very difficult for them. That’s why we used to be satisfied with the poetry gatherings that were held in our city, and we didn’t have the opportunity to learn directly from today’s great teachers.
Fortunately, this barrier was broken by Adeb city and we were able to communicate with the professors much more easily and see them closely. The workshops that were held during the sunflower courses were really rich and very influential on my poetry. It was by attending these classes and workshops that I was able to look at poetry more seriously and get to know the noble and original poetry more and better.
* Poems book “the beginning Anonymity» everyone ghazal are. only ghazal do you write
Because the beginning of my introduction to poetry was through Hafez, I was drawn to Ghazal and wrote Ghazal. But after the beginning of Anonymous, I felt that there was no room for other formats, especially Nimai’s and Sepid’s poems in my notebook. Therefore, after the publication of the book, a current arose in me that made me go to Nimayi and Sepid and start writing in them as well. Now I am studying in the field of new poetry and I hope to be able to take steps in this field as well.
* in ghazal more what a look do you have or better to ask ghazal what poets particle for direct object friend you have and thought you do Roy poetry you influence laidare?
We young poets, who are just starting out, have many experiences ahead of us. We have read both classical poetry and experienced great events in contemporary poetry and sonnets. For example, the emergence of Nima and the experience of Nimai’s poetry are in front of us, and we have also seen the flourishing of contemporary poetry in stars such as Hossein Manzavi and Mohammad Ali Bahmani. Seeing these experiences, we have come to believe that we should not be afraid of heresy and innovation, and our hands are more open than poets who have not had the experience of today’s poetry. We, the young poets of the current generation, have reached a peace of mind for creativity that if we try, it is not difficult to write a good poem.
I myself like poets like Hossein Manzavi and Mohammad Ali Bahmani very much and I think they had a great impact on me. Mr. Mohammad Salmani also has a special place for me. There are other loved ones who have the status of professors and I have learned from them. I have tried to write poetry using all these dear ones and to find my own language in poetry. How successful I was or will be is another matter.
* a little too about poetry Isfahan talk to do. in Isfahan in what meetings company do you the situation Meetings Literary this city how is
Isfahan is known as a proud city and today we still have good poets. Some of them like Mr. Mehdi Jahandar are my friends and I have used them a lot. By the way, I must say that Mr. Jahandar helped me a lot in the correction and final editing of this book. Isfahan city has good and famous professors. Literary associations are always held in the city, but for several years, due to my job, I have not had a prominent presence in Isfahan’s literary associations. However, as far as my time allows, I will be present and use the presence of good poets of Isfahan.
* What became decision you got “the beginning Anonymity” particle for direct object released do you like this that we know this book result presence you in period informed is.
Yes, this book was published in the previous period. I think it was in Mehr 1402 that the City of Adeb Institute in collaboration with the Tehran Art District founded and organized a literary course called the Informative Course, which focused on new poets and helping them publish their first book. I had already thought of collecting my poetry collection, but since I was far from the center and did not have much access to various publications, the publication of my book was delayed until I attended the Informer course.
* So period informed in release the first book You role seriously had is.
Young poets are very confused when they want to publish a book, especially when it is their first book. They don’t know how to collect their poetry collection and publish it in the best way. I was thinking of collecting this collection, but it was not possible. This happened until fortunately I got acquainted with the informed course. When I saw the call for the informed course, I sent my works and was selected as one of the selected poets. After a long period in which I worked on the poems with the help of professors, the beginning of Anami was finally published this year by Sarveh Mehr publishing house.
* Process correction and Edit book in period informed how was
The publication of the book in the earlier period was in such a way that each collection of poems was given to several professors and these loved ones had a relationship with the poet of that book for several months and worked on the poems to reach a final and appropriate version. Some meetings were held in person and some were held virtually. It was during these meetings that the problems of the book were solved and the poems were transformed into a better version. Among the professors who helped me a lot were Mr. Mehdi Jahandar, Dr. Mohammad Hossein Najafi, and Dr. Amir Moradi, whom I must thank. I would also like to thank Mr. Milad Irfanpour, who works hard for young poets. For several years now, I have seen that institutions such as the artistic field and the city of Adeb care a lot about young poets and talented young people and help them in their literary path. If it wasn’t for the period of sunflowers and the period of knowledge, it would be impossible for me to publish my first poetry collection in this way.
* from features good this Courses this is that poets cities, to the best poets the country access find they do
exactly Literary associations in different cities finally open a way for young poets. But the workshops that are held in a specialized and serious manner are very effective in the education and future of a poet. These courses provide a platform for young poets to be seen and help their books to be published. For this reason, we should appreciate the city of Adab and the field of art, which help young poets.
* to “the beginning Anonymity» let’s go back. more poems this book now and air romance, express homesickness and hadith breath poet are. is it true
I always tried to be my first audience in poetry. Almost all my poems are as if the poet is talking to himself. Even some of the poems in the book “Anonymous Beginnings” that have a theme and are social, for example, I have written in such a way that it is not obvious that it is a theme. Usually, I try to have a position in my poem, rather than the subject. In addition, as you said, my poems are in a way the hadith of the soul. If you look carefully, there are a series of words and signs in my poem that show that this poet is talking to himself; For example, the word mirror is often repeated in my poem. Because of this point of view, even my ritual poems do not look like ritual poems.
I always tried if I want to write a poem on a certain topic, my poem should have more of a phenomenon than its topic. For example, I have a poem that starts like this: “I am a city full of dust, full of drought.” This poem seems to be a hadith of the self and it seems that I am talking to myself, but this poem is a social poem and refers to the events that happened in Afghanistan and the Taliban occupied this country. You can see that the poem is not very topical, but it has its position.
* to because That’s it is that audience feeling does none poetry Ritual in this book Existence does not have.
yes For example, the same is the case with the poem “Waiting for Me.” “I remained faithful to the promise that has been made for years.” In fact, I wrote this poem with the feeling I had about waiting and Imam Zaman (AS), but maybe it doesn’t feel like that for everyone. Of course, I have seen that verses of this poem have been published next to the picture of Hamkaran Mosque, but it is not necessarily only the poem of expectation. I also had a number of religious poems such as the Arbaeen poem and the Fatimi poem, etc., which were mostly thematic, but I did not include them in the book. If it is part, it will be published in the next collection.
* Why “the beginning Anonymity»?
I believe that the first condition for moving and going beyond the boundaries of oneself is to become nameless. This collection is my first experience and I believe that I am still at the beginning of the journey. This book definitely has many shortcomings and I hope that literature professors will forgive me and help me in this direction. Since this book was my first poetry collection, I decided to call it the beginning of namelessness.
* Feedbacks ratio to book how has been is
Fortunately, my friends who prepared the book had good feedback. A few days ago, we had a program hosted by Mr. Biabanki. I had taken the book to give them as a gift; It was interesting to me that Mr. Biabanki said that they had read the book and that was interesting to me. A review and review program was recently held on book internet TV, in which experts said very good things about the book. Both their criticisms and expressions of kindness were very instructive for me. Hearing these criticisms and tips made me more determined to try harder, study more and try to learn more.
* Let’s summarize our discussion!
We poets who are on the way and want to publish our first poetry collection, need the help and advice of professors. I would like to thank all those who helped me to publish this book and with their criticisms, tips and recommendations, I made my first book published in a better way, and I hope to write better poems with them in the next steps.
