Ali Abdolrezaei was born 10 April 1969 in Langrood, Iran. After receiving his diploma in mathematics from Ghodoosi High School in 1986 he went to Tehran Technical and Engineering University where he graduated with a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1993.[1]
Abdolrezaei began his poetic career in 1986.[1] He was banned from teaching and public speaking,[1] which forced him to go into exile in 2002. After leaving Iran, he briefly lived in Germany, followed by two years in France. In 2005 he moved to London, where he now lives and works.[2]
Poetry
Abdolrezaei has been a prolific and controversial poet. His first seven volumes of poetry were published in Iran, the remainder in exile.[3] He helped to found the "Persian New Poetry" movement, writing colloquially about current themes rather than the traditional themes of emotion and nature.[3] According to Poetry International, his "postmodern" poems "centre on the problematic nature of language, knowledge and subjectivity."[3]
Literary influence and impact
Abdolrezaei's reputation as a poet spread in the early 2000s and received wide critical discussion from poets and critics of Persian poetry.[4] It has been said that his poetry caused a group of young poets turn away from the legacy of Modern Persian Poetry to establish the Persian New Poetry order.[5] He has been described as "one of Iran's most influential poets"[6] and "one of the most serious and contentious poets of the new generation of Persian poetry ... [who] has had an undeniable effect on many Persian poets".[1]
Abdolrezaei has written 21 books of poetry. His poems have been translated into languages including English, German, French, Turkish, Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Croatian and Urdu.[1][7][8]
