Ahmad Shamlou (Persian pronunciation: [忙h藞m忙d(-e) 蕛藞蓲藧mlu藧], also known under his pen name A. Bamdad (Persian: 丕. 亘丕賲丿丕丿鈥�)) (December 12, 1925 鈥� July 24, 2000) was a Persian poet, writer, and journalist. Shamlou is arguably the most influential poet of modern Iran. His initial poetry was influenced by and in the tradition of Nima Youshij. Shamlou's poetry is complex, yet his imagery, which contributes significantly to the intensity of his poems, is simple. As the base, he uses the traditional imagery familiar to his Iranian audience through the works of Persian masters like Hafiz and Omar Khayy谩m. For infrastructure and impact, he uses a kind of everyday imagery in which personified oxymoronic elements are spiked with an unreal combination of the abstract and the concrete thus far unprecedented in Persian poetry, which distressed some of the admirers of more traditional poetry. Shamlou has translated extensively from French to Persian and his own works are also translated into a number of languages. He has also written a number of plays, edited the works of major classical Persian poets, especially Hafiz. His thirteen-volume Ketab-e Koucheh (The Book of Alley) is a major contribution in understanding the Iranian folklore beliefs and language. He also writes fiction and Screenplays, contributing to children鈥檚 literature, and journalism.
Perhaps I have read it many times before in the sixties of the fourteenth century AH, for my children who have grown up on their own today. We have listened to his audio version over and over again, I have attended many children's gatherings to hear the story, I have dreamed of riding the winged horse of his dream, I say about "Shamloo".
I may have given some copies to my childhood sympathizers. The pleasantness of the heart is thinner than the imagination of children, the story of "Shamroo", The Golden Rooster In a Fairy Shirt, although it also has an Iranian color and smell, it is also of the saffron type. It still reminds me of the "Little Prince", so that you like it and remember the breeze.

His initial poetry was influenced by and in the tradition of Nima Youshij. In fact, Abdolali Dastgheib, Iranian literary critic, argues that Shamlou is one of the pioneers of modern Persian poetry and has had the greatest influence, after Nima, on Iranian poets of his era.
