Dear Mehrban-

 

It was very generous of you to share your inner most sentiments while listening to his words. I am the lucky one to have come across such a tender soul while browsing the net.  As for Anonymouse's request to write a blog about my father, I shall think for now....I have been silent for 14 years and would like my first time to be better than a blog posting.  As you can imagine, many thoughts are going through my mind. I wish my father was alive to see his poems and songs becoming so relevant almost 15 years after his passing.  ON the other hand, I know how much his gentle soul would have been tortured to see the SARZAMIN of IRAN being once again watered with the blood of its best and brightest.  

 

Dorood to both of you.

 

Bibi

 Thank you Mehraban jon.

 Thank you Mehraban jon. He is amazing.

Siavash Kasraie (also spelled as Siavash Kasrai, Persian: سياوش كسرايي ) (February 25, 1927, Isfahan - February 8, 1996, Vienna) was an Iranian poet.

Kasraie graduated from Tehran University, Faculty of Law. A native of Isfahan, his first collection of poetry was published in 1957. His second book, Arash the Archer (1959), brought him immediate fame. This epic narrative, based on ancient Persian myth, depicts Arash's heroic sacrifice to liberate his country from foreign domination.

In his historical stories, Kasraie demonstrates a clear sense of class-consciousness. Kasraie's basic impulse was lyric, rather than epic.

He reflects his individual personality in his poems. He has composed many revolutionary poems, of which some have served as anthem for political parties.

Am I seeing right? This blog needs to be featured

by Anahid Hojjati on Sun Nov 01, 2009 10:44 AM PST

Dear Jahanshah, Maybe my eye is tricking me.  But if indeed this blog is not featured, then it needs to be.  How often do we get a chance to show our appreciation to one of giants of Persian literature?

Anonymouse

BTW you can write multiple blogs not just one. For example

by Anonymouse on Sun Nov 01, 2009 09:47 AM PST

For example, one blog can be about what it is to be a poet?! Personal things, like when (not where) does he get his inspirations, does he get it while drinking his tea? Does he like his tea with ghand, sugar or no sweet at all.

There can be various small memories as blogs, either about him or about his child observations. 

Everything is sacred.

dear Bibi jan: man marg hich azizi ra bavar nemikonam!

Sorry I can't write a lot with this handy that I'm working with now.

It is a pleasure to have you among us, the real fans of your father's poetry. He was and will always remain a true symbol of patriotism and a huge image in the Persian poetry.

I don't know which one of his daughters you are? I'm getting old now and my memory is getting too short :)

I only knew one girl as Siavash's daughter, who was admirably beautiful, with those balooti hair and those beautiful big eyes!

I knew your mother very well. While in France (like 28-27) years ago, we were used to meet with all other friends and we were even used to go to pic nic together. BTW: Do you have any news from Negin (Mr Zohari's daughter?) I heard she is living in US now.

Please give my sincere salutation to your mom.

Welcome to Iranian.com! 

You give a new light to the site, the spirit of our beloved poet:  Siavash Karaee!!

Copy and paste the link in my post below, for a start.  For some reason it did not activate as a direct link.

Dear Bibi, your father has a special place in my heart

by Anahid Hojjati on Sun Nov 01, 2009 08:04 AM PST

Dear Bibi, I grew up reading your father's poems and I learned so much from them.  He is one of the greatest gems of Persian poetry and we have to do our best to make sure future generations of Iranians will get to read his works.  Please include me if you ever plan to have any function about him and his poems in the San Francisco Bay area.

Dear Bibi

In looking for the text of Damavand khamoosh I came across the full text of the Arash Kamangir which I had not read in a while.  In it, again, I found the magic that is the soul of Iran.   Your father's rendition of the story of Arash is one of the most beautiful and at the same time patriotic works of art.  I am sure the man that wrote that poem was -as he himself describes Arash- "Mardi chon sadaf".

I am posting a link to the poem here for our other bloggers, I believe this text has a few typos but all in all is pretty good.

Thank you again Bibi for your kind words.
