Shaytan (in Persian)

Shaytan (2026) by Salim Ghazi Saeedi is a poetic and philosophical confrontation with the darkness of the modern human condition. Drawing on the author’s experiences, the book explores war, inequality, oppression, hypocrisy, collective responsibility, and the evolutionary forces that shape human behaviour. Here, “Shaytan” is not presented as a literal supernatural being, but as a symbol of change, descent, conflict, and the shadow within humanity itself. Rejecting comforting abstractions, Saeedi asks readers to look directly at a world to recognise that its dictators, aggressors, and systems of cruelty are not merely “them,” but expressions of our shared collective unconscious. Shaytan is an uncompromising reflection on truth as it is lived and perceived: raw, unsettling, and stripped of illusion.

Showghhaye Entezari (Yearnings in Waiting) (in Persian)

Showghhaye Entezari (Yearnings in Waiting), 2025 by Salim Ghazi Saeedi is a collection of poems in Farsi born from longing—an intense, almost delirious desire that passes through waiting and transforms it into a creative force. Drawing on moments of poetic intuition that seem to exist beyond ordinary time and space, the book explores love, absence, expectation, madness, and the mysterious power of wanting. Intimate, philosophical, and uncompromising, Showghhaye Entezari presents poetry as an act of devotion: words offered as a talisman, a summons, and a path toward the one for whom they were written.
