Regarding the criticism of Persian poetry and its comparison with its peers in world literature, many works can be found in the form of articles or chapters in the books of writers and researchers, but one of the most important works that he wrote in the field of poetry criticism is The book of poetry without lies is poetry without a face by Dr. Abdul Hossein Zarin Koob, one of the greatest contemporary researchers of Iran. The importance of the research carried out along with the personal views of the author, who is considered a scholar of poetry and literature, has caused this work, which was published in the 1940s, to be reprinted many times and as one of the authoritative sources in the field. The knowledge of criticism and critical thinking about poetry should be used by researchers. In this book, Professor Zarin Koob clearly expressed his views on new poetry and its comparison with the literature of the Arab world and Europe and believes that the academic community should give more space to this issue.
