This Saddle Without a Horse

This Saddle Without a Horse

«This Saddle Without a Horse» is a collection of selected lines from the poems of Hormoz Alipour, curated by Baha Morshedi, published in 1397 (2018) by Roozneh Publishing.
This book contains 159 short pieces from the poetry of Hormoz Alipour, the veteran poet born in 1325 (1946). These pieces stand independently yet remain in line with his linguistic and poetic experiences. The lines move in a space between profound imagery, elegiac tones, and existential layers. In them, condensed language, inner music, and pristine images play a central role in creating the poetic experience.
Morshedi’s selection from Alipour’s poetry highlights a departure from long, classical narratives and instead emphasizes the creation of moments, pure images, and indirect experiences. In many of these lines, existential elements, loneliness, wounds of memory, and inner nature become part of the poem’s structure and contribute to the formation of the book’s overall atmosphere.
«This Saddle Without a Horse» was published in approximately 158–168 pages (palm-sized format).
