Synopsis "The Persian Sufi Poet Anvari Selected Poems: "

THE PERSIAN SUFI POET: ANVARI Selected Poems (Large Print & Large Format Edition) Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Anvari (1126-1189) was a court poet of the Seljuk sultans. Jami composed a ruba’i where he names him, with Firdausi and Sadi as one of the ‘three apostles’ of Persian poetry. He was a celebrated astronomer, mathematician and scientist who gave them up for the more lucrative occupation of a court poet, that he later rejected twenty years before death for a life of seclusion and contemplation, embracing Sufism. He is renowned for his delightful wittiness that can be found in many of his ruba’is and qit’as and ghazals. He is one of the greatest Persian masters of the qasida and his one called ‘The Tears of Khurasan’ is considered a masterpiece. He created a new kind of poetry by using the conversational language of the time. The correct rhyme-structure has been kept and the beauty and meaning of these unique poems. Introduction 0n his Life and Times and Forms of Poetry. Selected Bibliography. Large Print (18pt), Large Format (8” x 10”) Edition. 191 pages.
