Organic symbole: Nima Yusij innovation in form

My printed essay in Persian
Abstract:

This article attempts to discuss about Nima Yushij innovation in form. Nima's innovation is not limited only in breaking traditional and metrical form but also he created a new poetic form which there is no precedent for that in Persian history of literature. This form is called "organic symbol" in this article that has special poetic structure in which an image is canonized and gradually comes over the whole poem and finally transforms into a symbolic meaning. This form was accepted by contemporary poets after Nima so the most famous poems in Persian modern poetry are written in this form. This article discusses about quality and structure of this poetic form, proceeding of its shaping and genesis and expresses effective factors in its creation in the modern period of Persian history.

Key words: Nima Yushij, organic form, central image
