Nosrat Rahmani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nosrat Rahmani (نصرت رحمانی; in Persian; (1929 — June 16, 2000) was an Iranian poet and writer .
Rahmani was born in Tehran and grew up in the slums of Tehran and received his college degree from Ministry of PTT. After few years of services in the Ministry, Nosrat Rahmani moved to the state radio and then he abandoned government employment for journalism and freelance writing.
His poetry is the poetry of the stubborn, humiliated and revolting down-town people in Tehran's slums; he never forgets his concern for the plight of the urban poor. His memoirs entitled, The Man Lost in the Dust (1957), provide an emotional account of the life of an addict.
During the 60's and 70's, Rahmani was a popular poet among people and specially the youth.
As a whole, his poetry is dramatic in structure and fantastic in effect, often attempting to recapture the past by poeticizing its recollections.
