Can
you tell us about yourself?
I’m Sina, from Tehran. I try to discover who I am every day
through a journey of self-discovery which has been going on for years now.
Which
country do you live in now? What’s your profession? be general, no need
to specify your location...
I live in Iran, my motherland. I’m a performing
artist/interpreter/teacher. Currently, most of my activities are involved with
the Performing Arts, specifically physical theater and dance.
We’re
happy that you have been part of Poets Rally as a participant, what has driven
you to where you are in this particular community?
My memory doesn’t serve me well enough to tell you when it
was exactly that I started taking part in Poets Rally; but I’m sure it was quite
some time ago. I always enjoyed the support which was present in this community
and it helped me grow from being a person who shares their thoughts on the
internet to someone with more confidence in a way.
How
long have you been blogging? Do you think being part of a poetry community
contributes to your creative writing?
I was blogging even before joining WordPress. I believe
altogether it has been about 7 years now. And being part of this community
surely helped me with my creative writing.
Why
poetry? Do you write fiction too?
I do write fiction as well. I enjoy writing in various forms
in fact. There is something about poetry though… It has always come very
naturally to me. As you can see, most of my blog posts are in the form of
poetry. It feels very familiar. Poetry feels like home.
Please
share 3 to 5 blog links you enjoy reading most, give 1 or 2 sentences to tell
why you love their creative process.
This one I always enjoy
since it provides useful information.
Reminds me of my earlier
works. Very expressive.
Heartfelt posts I can
easily relate to.
How
do you know when a poem is done? your own experiences need to be shared here...
You just know. Once the flow comes to a halt and you have
been moved by something, you just know the poem has come to an end.
In my own poem, ‘Beneath Our Eyes’ the lines “You lay silently- To die?” express
this eloquently.
How
do you decide when a poem is "good"? Do you redo your own poems after
they’re posted? it could be poem someone else written...
In any poem-be it mine or
someone else’s- The very first lines should have an element of attraction for
me to keep reading. And then the flow should keep me move on to the end and in
the end, once I’m done with the poem, if I feel something new in my heart, I
know it’s a good poem. Also the choice of wording matters to me. I love to see
harmony and integrity and hear a euphoric rhythm somehow.
Do
you think music and poetry are related? Why?
Absolutely. To me, whenever
I’m reading a poem, I ca imagine what kind of music could accompany it. And
every song to me is also a poem even if it has no vocals.
What
issues are closed to your heart? Women’s rights, child abuses, etc.…name one…
Humanity and Liberation.
What’s
your other hobbies besides writing? Do you have pets? Give us a picture if you
own a pet.
I take photographs and go
to the theater very often.
Please

poetry talent…
Thanks
in advance.
