Opis

In the Phaedrus, Plato argued that the new arrival of writing, would revolutionize culture for the worst. He suggested that it would substitute reminiscence for thoughts; and mechanical learning for the true dialect of the living quest for the truth through search and investigation. However, just as the young have wishes and desires that may never come true, the elderly have reminiscences which may have never been true, nor may have happened, and the only evidence is the written words, the sole evidence is in the writings. The poems of this book (written in Persian language in the past 15 years) are the reminiscences of the desires, wishes, thoughts, feelings and imaginations which had precipitated in the innermost labyrinths of my soul. They are the signs, the visions, and the auditions of my living quest for truth-health. The poems (holistically) are a voyage, a journey, but one which only traverses this or that external path, by virtue of the internal paths and trajectories that compose it, those which constitute its landscape or its concert. Writing poetry is a becoming-other, an opening of language to forces of variations within, and to the lines of flight without. The trajectories of an organic life are passages between - between words, between states, between things, and between words, states, things. To write is to flee, to make flee, to be delirious, to leave a track, to betray, to become, to conjoin flows, to form assemblages, to de-territorialize. But more than anything else, to write is to trace a line of flight and thereby engage in an organic life, a line between-toward truth-health and between-toward new possibilities of life, and new potentials for living.
