“Sahrasub,” the third volume in the trilogy Wonders of Memory, consists of one hundred pieces composed from Azar 1400 to Dey 1401 in the Iranian calendar (December 2021 to January 2023). We know that Sahrasub is a form of Persian poetry. As defined by lexicographers, it refers to praise and satire composed by poets about the people of a city. The term shahr-angīz, also meaning sahrasub, denotes a type of poem that includes praise or satire of the majority of a city’s people. However, sahrasub or shahr-angīz is also used to describe poetry that details the craftspeople of a city and praises their professions and trades. (Dehkhoda Dictionary) Moreover, Sahrasub is described as a poetic form that addresses transformations, disorder, or the state of order/disorder in a city or country and its people. It is a type of verse that narrates political or economic turmoil or the conditions of different social classes in a satirical or humorous tone. (Mahjoub, Iranian Folk Literature, 1163) The inspiration for the volume Sahrasub is drawn from this tradition of sahrasub-poetry in Persian literary history, composed at the station of today’s turbulent times and contemporary language.
