Ali Abdolrezaei

Abdolrezaei has had an undeniable effect on many poets of his generation through his poetry, speeches and interviews. He is also one of the few poets who succeeded in expressing his unique poetic individuality. His varied books of poetry endorse his poetic creativity and power. Nearly all well-known poets and critics of Persian poetry have written about Abdolrezaei’s work. His poetry is translated into many languages (e.g. see bibliography).
 
After 13 years of exile and a publishing ban in Iran, in 2013 the government allowed his publisher to release four of his new books. These were so well received that they were reprinted several times in three months. However, after seven months, his books were confiscated from the Tehran Book Fair, and he is banned from further publication.
 
Abdolrezaei is one of 34 international poets selected by the British Library, and his recordings are kept in the Sound Archives of the British Library. He is currently the Chair of Exiled Writers Ink! in the United Kingdom.
