Biography:
Kasra (Ali) ANGHAEE born in Tehran in 1967, is one of the prolific poets and writers of Iran . His collection of poetry which was published when he was 22 years old, illustrated that he aimed at discovering the unknown world of imagination, meditation and mythology. That clearly is manifested in the subjective elements in his poetry.
He lived in many small cities of his native land, thus gaining a good knowledge of the traditions of his people.
Painting had a great role in his artistic life. In fact it opened a window for him to discover the art world.
He was the editor of poetry pages in the known literary magazines like: Shabab, Meyar and Kelk.
After the persecution and killings of writers, poets and some of the political activists by some Iranian Intelligent Service officials 1n 1998, Anghaee left Iran as he objected the suppressive system of Iran under which he could no more live as a writer and poet.
