Siavash Kasarai, the singer of Arash Kamangir’s verse, is Nimai’s first epic poem. He was one of Nima Yoshij’s students who remained loyal to his style of poetry. Among the collection of surviving poems by Siavash Kasraei, we can mention the collection of poems Ava, Mehreh Red, In the Air of the Chicken, Amen, Gift for the Soil, Chips of the Ax, Home, with Silent Damavand and Siavash’s Blood.
Kasraei is a poet who deals with modernism in different fields and because he is considered a romanticist, he was able to link both individual and social trends to the new type of aesthetics.
The basis of his poems are expressions of imagination, love, nostalgia, as well as inspiration from mythology and idealism, which are combinations of the above two tendencies.

The style of Forough Farrokhzad’s poems
The discovery of new worlds with new dimensions of Forough Farrokhzad’s face makes him a universal human being and brings his poetry to the desired perfection. Farrokhzad published five books of poetry during his lifetime. Little by little, Forough got close to the world of Nimai’s poetry and put his poetry in the stage of evolution and drew him towards humane and thoughtful poetry, and at this time he wrote collections called “Captive, Divar and Asian” in the style of Nimai’s poetry.
In general, it can be said that Forough Farrokhzad influenced new Persian poetry with his innovation in style and theme and established his position as an outstanding poet in contemporary Iranian literature. Although Forough had a short life, he died at the age of 32 due to a car overturn.
