Mohammad Reza Shafii Kadkani, known as Sereshk, was born in 1939 in Kadkan near Neishapur, Iran. His poems, reflecting Iran's social conditions during the 1940s and 1950s, are replete with memorable images and ironies. He has authored eight collections of poetry, eight books of research and criticism, two book-length translations from Arabic, one on Islamic mysticism from English. He has also published three scholarly editions of classical Persian literature. He is a professor of Persian literature at Tehran University. - from .
Very nice book if you like to read the english translation besides original poetry. The poems are progressive and dreamy and they will leave you feeling positive about life, which is not very common in modern persian poetry. Beautiful poetic and abstract paintings of poems with great touch of modernity while keeping connection with traditional Iranian art. I found the book, by chance, in Tehran airport - a very enjoyable experience PS. It was the last copy.
