Ahmad Shamlou

Ahmad Shamlou (1925-2000)

This was done as a commission.
In his lifetime, Ahmad became one of the most influential persian writers of his time -- and many hold high reverence of his works and writings. He drew much of his inspiration from great scholars and writers of many ethnic backgrounds.

"I, an Iranian poet, first learned poetry from the Spanish Lorca, the frenchman Ãfo/ooluard, the German Rilke, the Russian Mayakovsky and the American Langston Hughes; and only later, with this education I turned to the poems of my mother tongue to see and to know, say, the grandeur of Hafez from a fresh perspective."
