"Kamand-e zolf" is adorned with an introduction by Dr. Mohammad Hassan, the President of the ECO Cultural Institute, which states in this introduction: "Poetry has been called the mirror of the poet's soul, and the poet is the mirror of time.
The poetry of Zulfiya Ataei, the people's poet of Tajikistan, is the voice of a woman who has looked at her heart in the mirror of the world and has created a new magic from wounds and blossoms. Her words fly like a bird above the years; sometimes they are a gentle breeze, sometimes a fire of cry, and always a truth that comes from the depths of the soul. The book "Kamand-e zolf" is a trance of passion and gratitude; it contains both feminine romantic whispers and a mirror of the homeland, suffering, hope, and patience of the people. Reading this book is like walking in a corridor where each verse lights a lamp, each poem puts a hand on a person's shoulder, and each word depicts a woman standing in the world with a stature of light. Creates".
In this collection, Zulfiya Ataei, with a clear language and sincere expression, has reflected the lived experiences, sufferings, and hopes of the people of Tajikistan in the form of poems full of images and emotion. The prominent presence of the concept of "woman" as the axis of identity and love is one of the outstanding features of this book.
In an analytical article in this book, Tajik researcher Dr. Ali Mohammadi Khorasani has tried to present a comprehensive picture of this poet's poetic path and her place in contemporary Tajik poetry.
The publication of this book is a new step in strengthening literary and cultural ties between the peoples of the ECO region.
The ECO Cultural Institute plans to unveil, review, and review the aforementioned book at an appropriate time.
