.
With this perspective,Nima is still a contemporary poet who is presenting presenticism ,the premature purpose of the past for the present and in processing past and present . He is presenting the possibilities of influences of the future into past present and drawing all those movement of post modernism/post structuralism/post nimai. He then endeavors to thrive that POST , as hallmarks.
Nima learned to read and write in French after he constitute Modern Persian Poetry.
Nima extended and applied these experiences through symbolism with the color of people,flora and fauna ,rivers, valleys , and mountains of his native land to composite a new poetry ,well termed SH'ER E NOW. In his imagery, Nima used personification to let animate and inanimate objects wearing man's vest and appearing with smells, senses and sensibilities, and emotions of the people. This is akin to Proust, who in the very same years knew the effects of smell, and flavor to build up memory and used them as personalities for creative reminiscence in his Remebering of the Past.
Nima's education in the village of Yush,Mazandaran, his birthplace, continued with a traditional teacher ,and indirectly , in a pastoral life spent with shepherds. However in 1287/1908 at age 12 he moved with his family to Tehran and continued his educations in Saint Louis school, where he was exposed more to French language and literature. This was where a thoughtful teacher called Nezam Vafa paid attention to his talent and enthusiasm in poetry. Nezam Vafa , 1264/1885/1343/1964, was a poet by his own right ,who published several books of poetry in classical forms and styles. Union of Heart,and Narrative of Heart,as examples.
Nima's fascination with Nezami, a prominent poet and narrator of odes in the past, should have been translated into this closeness to his teacher too. Nima also showed affinity to Ferdosi, a great Persian epic poet who revived Persian language through some 30,000 lines in the Book of Kings. Ferdosi's masterpiece could be considered one of the early works of so called Language Poetry ,centuries before this definition was used by contemporary poets and critics.Another poet in this category is Hafez ,with his use of imagery and expression of life and love ,under autocrats and Amirs. Then there is Omar Khayam with his thoughts,insights and language of aphorism in Robaiyat , Saeb of Hindi School ,in innovative language of images ,and Amir Mazandarani's native songs who influenced Nima. This is a mention of just a few of the vast resources which also are revived in Nima's critical essays and or poetry.
