Hesashe'r (in Gilaki: هساشعر and in Mazandarani: اساشعر) is a modern style of Gilaki and later Mazandarani poetry that was established by poets such as Mohammad Boshra, Rahim Cheraghi, and Mohammad Farsi in the early 1970s. Hesashe'r is concise and short, and despite being modern in terms of language and expression, its atmosphere is mostly pure nature and away from urban settings. Hesashe'r is often considered similar to Japanese haiku and influenced by it.

Etymology
"Hasa" means "now" or "currently" in Gilaki language (in Mazandarani: "Asa"). Therefore, "Hasashe'r" can be translated as "Contemporary poetry" or "New poetry".

History
The emergence of Hasashe'r was influenced by intellectual movements and poetic innovations in Guilan. In September 1995, the Hasashe'r Manifesto, written by Rahim Cheraghi, was published in the local magazine "Gileva". Afterward, many poems were composed in this style and were published in local newspapers and later in Mazandaran. Currently, several books of Hasashe'r poetry have also been published in Iran.

Some examples of Hasashe'r
Once the tree bore fruits,

But now the day has come,

When I can't pluck them anymore,

Out of my reach, they have become.

By Mohammad Boshra

Snow falls in powdery spheres

Upon bare trees

The crows have gathered for the ripest fruit.

By Jalil Ghaisari

You're on the other side of the river's flow,

While I remain on this distant shore.

If only a bridge could span this gap we know,

Then we could be together once more.

By Hooshang Abbasi

The horse's nostrils flare,

As it trots through the chilly air,

Along the river's edge, near the grass,

A mesmerizing dance by the horse, it does pass.
