Javad Mojabi Funeral: Writers and Artists Gather to Say Goodbye to the Celebrated Poet and Critic
Javad Mojabi and Ahmad Shamlou
Mojabi’s poetic style has often been described as particularly close to Ahmad Shamlou, especially in his use of blank verse and free verse.
Shamlou remains one of the best-known modern Persian poets.
His influence on Iranian literature extends far beyond poetry.
He developed a powerful modern literary voice characterized by philosophical, social and humanistic concerns.
Mojabi’s work shares some of these characteristics.
However, satire gives Mojabi’s writing a distinctive quality.
His poetry could combine philosophical reflection with humor and irony.
This ability to move between seriousness and satire became one of his trademarks.
