Simultaneous with formation of new movement of the 70s, the literary Iranian society began to study one of the contemporary poets .Houshang Irani, the modern poet is one of those who the critics brand to him the new achievement of Persian poem. After years that no Iranian name is mentioned in literary circle, the publication of The Unique Game Cock, which was supplied and published by the attempt of Syros Taherbaz, it provided a chance for Iranian literature to have a look on the literature and this modern artist and poet. Houshang Irani was born in Hamedan, and after passing the primary and university education, he left for continuing his studying on Navy to England. Although he abandon his studying, for not being compatibility with military atmosphere,finally he prosper to received the mathematic P.H.D. All his literary activities did not exceed beyond five years. Since he had a great interest in orient and Indian philosophy and Gnostic ; after gaining experience in Europe, came back to Iran and seriously worked on literature.Irani’s literary works, like most of the Europe recent literary movements was associated with his second published magazine :The Game Cock The first magazine reflected the modern idea in the field of art and literature; but it was not satisfactory. The second edition was influential. In Game Cock association statement, some literary points was mentioned; “the art of Game Cock is the art of alives. This rooster will kill the voices which sing elegy on the grave of Classic Art.” Irani’s works in poetry is limited to four anthologies: The Dark Purple On Gray, A Black Flame Catches The Curtain And The Devil Came Out, Gray, Now I Think Of You; I Think Of Yous. He was so frank that even Nima, the pioneer of modern poetry in Iran, was not respite of Irani’s criticism. He criticized the preface of Ismaeel Shahroodi’s The Last Battle; and said:” Nima Youshij is left to understand the concept of time and lives in past.” Irani regards Nima’s defenc of Shahroodi’s social poem to be created from his undeveloped thoughts. He considered the mass as they are suffering a kind of “hypocrite silence”, in which they conceal their “disgusting and empty inward”. And prevent to discover the true beauty. Irani in his third edition of Game Cock criticized Tavalloli. The interesting point is the consideration of the writer to the rigid interest to Tavalloli, with attendance to the poem rules which signs that his innovation itself has rooted in such rules. That’s why he used the unfamiliar compositions like “The Blue Scream” and “The Azure Cave”, in order to bring the unusual and ordinary perceptions of structures to an end. However such compositions made the adverse and even those who agreed with him, not to consider the beauty of his poems. In the poem ”Azure” and in the phrase “A black ear from behind of the murk coffin”; the poet’s intelligence in establishing a great composition can be attended. By less than forty poems and a few numbers of essays, Hooshang Irani has become the pioneer of evolution in poetry. In 1334 he completely laid the poetry aside and in 1351 passed away in Kuwait.
