Abstract

Nima Yushij brought the thousand-year old Persian poetry into a new arena. An area that was unfamiliar to the audience of Persian poetry due to its novelty. Nima himself could not recognize the theoretical foundations of his poetry, and the first steps in introducing the theoretical and aesthetic foundations of Nima's free poetry to the literary community were taken by his fans and students. Mahdi Akhavan-Sales is one of Nima's followers who, according to many, has a prominent position in the field of introducing Nima's poetry and its characteristics. This article tries to find out what Akhavan found out about the basics of Nima's poetry and introduced it to the society by researching his opinions. For this purpose, it has been study the book of Bedatha va Badaye Nima with "critical analysis" method.
