Sohrab Sepehri who was poet as well as a talented painter


The beauty of his poems is seen through his avocation of nature and the use of tender and simple language. Abdolali Dastgheib, acclaimed literary critic and writer, believes that Sepehri reached great levels in poetic language following the publication of his later books such as ‘The Water’s Footfall’, ‘Traveller’ and ‘The Green Volume’. There are many examples of personifications, or symbols in his poetry.
