Asadollah Emadi (Persian: اسدالله عمادی; born 23 September 1952 in Kavard, Mehdishahr County) is an Iranian poet, fiction writer, and researcher.[1][2]
Biography
[edit]Emadi was born in 1952 in the village of Kavard, one of the villages of Dodangeh, Sari, which after the 1979 Revolution was annexed to Shahmirzad District in Mehdishahr County. He completed his early education in his hometown, then moved with his family to Qaemshahr (then called Shahi), where he finished high school. In 1971, he was admitted to the University of Tehran to study Persian literature. In 1973–1974, he was imprisoned for two years for his involvement in the student movement in Iran. After his release, he resumed his studies. In 1980, he moved to Sari, where he married and began teaching Persian literature in high schools. Since 1991, after early retirement, he has worked as a freelance instructor and exam tutor.
Literary career
[edit]Emadi’s first works, Mountain Thorns (a novella, 1974) and Earthly Stars (a short story collection, 1976), were published during his student years. In 1976, he became a member of the Iranian Writers Association. He writes in both Persian and Mazandarani. In addition to his poetry collections, he has written and published numerous books and articles on modern and classical Iranian poetry, as well as the culture and history of northern Iran, especially Mazandaran Province. His novels include Dreams of a Loving Tiger and World of Chaos (based on the life of Hafez), and House on the Roof of the World (translated into English). Some of his poems have been recorded in audio albums such as The Leopard and the Flute and It’s Always Too Early to Die, as well as the audiobook Selected Poems of Asadollah Emadi.
