| Details: |
A 1987 nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature, Ahmad Shamlou is a celebrated Iranian writer, poet, and journalist who played a key role in the development of Persian blank verse. Shamlou's work combined abstract elements with specific, concrete imagery, effectively creating a new realm of Middle Eastern poetry that could at once emote and engage with socio-political issues such as the protection of human rights. This intimate documentary explores the poet's remarkable body of work, and traces his impact on the culture around him. |
