Sepid Persian Poetry

Sepid poetry (sepid, "white") or "White Poetry" is a free verse movement of Modern Persian poetry that departs from Classical Persian prosody and adopts "new content, viewpoint, and diction".[1] Ahmad Shamloo is considered the founder of the White Poetry movement,[2] which came to its mature form and general acceptance after Bijan Jalali.

For the last two decades of his life, Manouchehr Atashi was also involved in Sepid poetry.
