Grey The curtain came into flame and the Devil came in I think all about you now, I think about all of you now Some Designs Hushang Irani (Persian: هوشنگ ایرانی; 1925 in Hamedan – 4 September 1973 in Paris) was an Iranian poet, translator, critic, journalist and painter.

Founded in 1950, Khorus Jangi (Persian: خروس جنگی, The Fighting Cock) was a small artistic group that published a journal by same title.

A year later, however, Hushang Irani, the enfant terrible of modernist Persian poetry, joined the group.

Irani has shrewdly observed and anxiously realized how the potentials that Nima had introduced into Persian poetry were being co-opted: Nima and modernist Persian poetry were in the process of becoming mainstream.

Understanding this double edge of youthful tradition, Irani had both praised and condemned Nima.
