Anvāʻ-i qālibʹhā va sabkʹhā-yi shiʻr dar adabīyāt-i Fārsī (Forms and Styles of Poetry in Persian Literature) offers an insightful and structured journey through the rich heritage of Persian poetics. Compiled by Maʻṣūmah Malik Maḥmūdī and published in Tihrān, this work serves as an essential guide for literary students and poetry enthusiasts alike. It meticulously defines and traces the evolution of classical poetic frameworks—from the narrative masnavi to the expressive ghazal—while exploring the major historical literary styles that shaped the Iranian poetic landscape. Moving beyond tradition, the book also provides a clear examination of modern poetry in Īrān, analysing the groundbreaking structural shifts of the Nimaic movement, blank verse, and contemporary postmodern expressions, bridging the gap between classical mastery and modern literary evolution.
