Sepid poetry is a type of Modern Persian poetry.
The word "sepid" means "white" and it refers to a certain class of Persian poetry initiated by Ahmad Shamloo and came to its mature form and general acceptance after Bijan Jalali.
Sepid poetry is a kind of free verse that departs from the tightly balanced rhythm and rhymes of classical Persian poetry.
For the last two decades of his life, Manouchehr Atashi was also involved in Sepid poetry.
Famous quotes containing the words persian and/or poetry:
“Oh! thou clear spirit of clear fire, whom on these seas I as Persian once did worship, till in the sacramental act so burned by thee, that to this hour I bear the scar; I now know thee, thou clear spirit, and I now know that thy right worship is defiance. To neither love nor reverence wilt thou be kind; and e’en for hate thou canst but kill; and all are killed. No fearless fool now fronts thee.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.”
—Don Marquis (1878–1937)
