Mehri Rahmani
Writer, Poet, Literary Critic & Researcher
Iran

Born in 1950, Tehran
MS in Biology, Tehran University

She has been studying in science, such as: art, Persian literature, philosophy, history, sociology, linguistic and specifically psychology for 30 years, so these branches of science can help human beings’ existence cognition.

Knowing human’s body nature and having carried out research and study on their soul and its exudation have caused the core of her works (all the criticism, poems and novels) to be formed based on knowledge of psychology. She believes that because literature and art are related to human being’s existence, so whoever works on such these categories, they should have knowledge on different aspects of human being’s cognition. How is it possible, when a personality enters a space of a drama but the author doesn’t know about the nature of his character?

It is a long time that Mehri Rahmani has been cooperating with different magazines such as: Donyaeh Sokhan, Karnameh, Golestaneh, Farhang & Cinema, Nafeh, Parvin, Meyar (Diroz-Emrooz-Farda), Kadeh, Ketabeh Hafteh, Rouznameh Entekhab, as a criticizer of the poems, the dramas, literature and art articles and occasionally, films and paintings.

One of the fields of her study is nationalizing Iranian psychology, because she believes, psychology is such kind of science whose method of using (psychology of education) in every society should have harmony with culture of those societies. One of her activities is study and researching on previous and contemporary poets and authors’ work (Hafiz’ Description-Sohrab’s poems reviewing-Sohrab’s ideology).

The latest research is: considering Carl Gustav Jung’s work and abstract of his works in a volume for access of everybody (under printing).

All Mehri’s works are about 30. One of the new works of Mehri Rahmani is writing some of her poems at the end of her psychology books (the fifty poems in “a woman’s loving letters” and the fifty poems in “the love and intercourse book”).

In the Microwave,
The dish of loneliness is warming
somebody, near this fireplace
is snowing.
Some strangers is in this house,
have set a ceiling together.
Each of them, in the memory of the
faraway unique...
The sound of spoons are heard from
the room of loneliness.
In the hour of distance,
the dining table crowded with
unrelated books.
corn snow in the eyes,
attacks on the flames of ice.

Microwave rings,
I pick up the handset,
somebody is cut.
