88th Birthday of G.H.Gharib

Congratulating the 88th Birthday of G.H.Gharib one of the pioneers of modern Iranian literature on 23rd of June.

Gholamhossein Gharib is the poet of complicated concepts within simple forms. He looks for a deconstructed regeneration of popular and local cultures in Iran. Deconstructed, because he aims to familiarize the popular culture with non-popula...r one and his version of non-popular culture is neither intellectual nor “traditionalist” one. He wishes the reunion between contemporary-daily concepts, perceptions and symbols and some ancient, old ones; that’s why he is in combat with sedu-traditions. Gharib is an ethnographer poet who has the passion of seeking originalities and roots; what a difficult mission of harmonizing these three in one!!
