 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.
