TEHRAN -- An anthology of Iranian contemporary poetry entitled “The Rise of the Prophet” was published in Armenia, MNA reported on Tuesday.
Translated into Armenian by Edward Haqwerdian, the book contains the works of post-Islamic Revolution bards, including Mehdi Soheili, Ali Musavi Garmarudi, Qeisar Aminpur, Bahman Salehi, and Tahereh Saffarzadeh.
The introduction written by Iran’s Cultural Attaché Reza Atufi reads that Iran’s Islamic Revolution has helped raise the status of Persian poetry and literature throughout the world.
The book gives a strong warning to those who have recently desecrated Prophet Muhammad (S) in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
