With a total circulation of over 5000 books, Shams Langrudi is one of the best-selling and most popular Iranian poets of recent years. He was born in northern Iran in the autumn of 1950. He says his interest in poetry can be traced back to his father, who wrote poetry himself and introduced him to older and more traditional Iranian literature.
Nature is one of the most important elements in Langrudi's poems based on his own experiences. In his opinion, modern poems are primarily characterized by astonishment. The poet's astonishment in the face of the world, and that very world is the poet's life.
