Poetry
Abdolrezaei has been a prolific and controversial poet. His first seven volumes of poetry were published in Iran, the remainder in exile. He helped to found the "Persian New Poetry" movement, writing colloquially about current themes rather than the traditional themes of emotion and nature. According to Poetry International, his "postmodern" poems "centre on the problematic nature of language, knowledge and subjectivity."
Literary influence and impact
Abdolrezaei's reputation as a poet spread in the early 2000s and received wide critical discussion from poets and critics of Persian poetry. It has been said that his poetry caused a group of young poets to turn away from the legacy of Modern Persian Poetry to establish the Persian New Poetry order. He has been described as "one of Iran's most influential poets" and "one of the most serious and contentious poets of the new generation of Persian poetry ... [who] has had an undeniable effect on many Persian poets".
Abdolrezaei has written 37 books of poetry. His poems have been translated into languages including English, German, French, Turkish, Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Croatian and Urdu.
