From Poetry to Narration with Mazaher Mosaffa: Taking a look at'The Proceedings' (Noskhe-ye Eghdam) by Hamidreza Tavakkoli

“…Mazaher Mossafa’s poems or continuant couplets  which are collected in ‘The Proceedings’ (Noskhe-ye Eghdam) are noteworthy from different perspectives: the interaction between the poetic side and narrative aspect; the romantic color; story-telling and the transition of memories, especially childhood ones; parading personal experiences and describing the details; climatic coloring and the reflection of the folklore, passing through the most personal agonies to national distress or even the historical injuries of Iran; the role of association in altering atmospheres; weird conversations, from addressing a mountain to addressing a mirror and even to addressing his two year old brother passed away before the birth of the poet but granted his name and memory and birth  certificate to him. …”
