Prosody in Today’s Language

The book “Prosody in Today’s Language” written by Saeed Soltani Tarami is a suitable choice for poetry enthusiasts and literature lovers in general, focusing on the subject of prosody. This book can serve as a credible resource for students of Persian literature. It is published by “Nashr Ney” and can be ordered through the Iran Ketab website. Nowadays, works addressing Persian poetic meter are confined to specific courses in high schools and universities and are regarded as ancient texts that have lost their practical value. As a result, they are being forgotten, and the leaders and intellectual authorities of poetry, so-called avant-garde, have rejected meter, expelling it from the intellectual environment of their young poet followers. This book aims to present Persian prosody in a simple and practical language to acquaint young enthusiasts in such a way that, besides addressing their practical needs, they can engage in deeper and broader studies on the subject. For this reason, the book avoids delving into the complex discussions of classical prosody.
