The Postmodern Ghazal, also referred to as **Postmodern or Post-traditional Poetry**, is a literary movement in Persian poetry that emerged during the 1990s in Iran. It blends postmodernism with traditional Persian poetic forms such as ghazal, mathnawi, and rubaiyat. This movement combines postmodern philosophy, linguistics, and sociology with the metrical and rhymed structures of classical Persian poetry.
