“Until the End of Rain” Published in Shiraz

Maryam Nazaraghaei, the poet of this work, stated in an interview with the reporter of the Iran Book News Agency (IBNA) in Shiraz: “Rain is a metaphor for life for me. For me, rain has no beginning or end; just like poetry. My poems are pieces of rain that have settled in the heart, sometimes turning into a short cry and sometimes into a calm light. In this collection, each piece is a sign of a step taken under the rain; a journey amidst touches and glances that are still alive in the humidity of memory.”

This poet was born in Aqleed county and began her writing journey in adolescence. In 2002 (1381 SH), during high school, she was among the winners in a national competition with her book “The Unfinished Story.” Her previous work, “Autumn Garden in Spring,” was published in 2024 (1403 SH). Her new collection, written in free prose and the form of blank verse (she’r-e sepid), continues the same emotional world present in her previous works.

Keramat Yazdani (Ashk), the editor and publisher of this book, also spoke in an interview with an IBNA reporter about the intellectual and poetic atmosphere of the work, emphasizing: “Blank verse (she’r-e sepid) arises from the free breath of words; neither bound by meter and rhyme nor limited to conventional forms. In this book, language accompanies the poet’s heart and eyes; sometimes a short drop settles on the soul’s shore, and sometimes, like a calm river, it flows from its source to the sea of meaning.”

The managing director of Nevissandegan Pars Publications continued: “In ‘Until the End of Rain,’ we accompany the poet to walk in the rain of words. Each poem is a window to new horizons of feeling. Therefore, we consider this collection not only a literary work but also a spiritual experience of words flowing; a path that has no defined beginning or end, and each poem within it is a continuation of another. We strive to publish the thoughts and pens of the writers and poets of this land across Iran and the world.”

The poetry collection ‘Until the End of Rain,’ authored by Maryam Nazaraghaei (Sayeh), a poet and writer from Marvdasht, Fars, with editing by Keramat Yazdani (Ashk), was published in a quarto format (ruq’i) and 150 pages on Azar 1st by Nevissandegan Pars Publications.
