Urmia holds an important and prominent place in the history and literature of Azerbaijan. The tumultuous and sometimes bloody history of this region has been unable to erase its rich literary heritage. Urmia was one of the important centers of Sufism and mysticism, and scholars and poets such as Husam al-Din Chalabi emerged from this region.
The poetry literature of Urmia can be divided into three main sections:
Ancient Poets: The remaining works from this period are scarce, and some of them are in Arabic. Poets of Divan Literature: These poets composed poems in the classical style (Qasida, Ghazal, Rubai, etc.) and compiled divans (collections of poetry).
Qoshma Poets (Ashug Literature): This is the most important and dynamic branch of Urmia's poetry. Urmia's qoshmas typically consist of four stanzas and are performed in gatherings of music and recitation. This literature is the richest oral heritage of the region, preserved orally and transmitted from generation to generation, and has been documented in the recent century, although many works still remain uncollected.
In the contemporary era, poets of Urmia are primarily active in two forms: syllabic poetry (Ashug) and classical metrical poetry (Aruz). There are also experiments in modern poetry forms, but this area has not yet matured or achieved a distinct position.
