A wolf on guard

Abbas is not only a highly acclaimed film director; his films are often called "poetic cinema" because he is also a poet with a unique style. In fact, his poetry predates other artistic endeavors and has garnered widespread attention. This collection of over 500 of Abbas's poems draws from the ancient Persian poetic tradition, characterized by philosophical and meditative qualities. His poetry is a prime example of brevity and precision. Abbas never wrote lengthy poems, and none of his poems have specific titles. Yet, they are always imbued with the focused gaze and meticulous observation of the world characteristic of a poet with a unique eye. His brief, swift, and swift yet meticulously focused verses invite us to reexamine the objects and scenes around us and appreciate the poetic nature of the everyday world.
