Sheevan Foumani and literature

As one of the successful bilingual poets, Sheevan Foumani spread the local and native Gilaki poetry,
which was being forgotten, to the other side of the borders of our country, and on the other hand, in
the field of Persian poetry, by publishing collections of Persian poetry and presenting formats The usual
and conventional Persian poetry is considered one of the most influential and capable poets of
contemporary poetry. Research and research in the field of culture and literature of Gilan and
presenting a collection of Gilaki poems in the form of sonnets, poems and local couplets are among his
works. In addition to these, songwriting is one of Sheevan's literary and artistic aspects. With his skill,
mastery and mastery of local and Persian music, sounds and melodies, he is the most successful
songwriting poet, and many of his songs have been sung by famous singers in this field. Named. In
addition to Gilki poetry and Persian poetry, Shion has had interesting activities in other literary fields,
including: children's poetry and literature, stories, short stories, and screenplays, which are naturally
considered another part of his abilities.

Farsi and Gilki Sheevan's works

In Persian poetry, Sheevan Foumani left lasting poems in both classical and new ways. Sheevan's ghazals
are among the most prominent contemporary ghazals of Persian poetry, which places him in the ranks
of the most distinguished ghazal poets in the field of modern neoclassical ghazals. Ghazals of Shion, the
way of imagination and thinking of Indian style poets, similes, metaphors, images and modern language
along with allegory, synthesis, theme finding and beautiful paradoxes, of course, all these along with
native elements and with Gilk language terms and combinations, For example: Ay Safar ,
Khourousakhari, Vade Khalafi, Choumoush Pa Taweh, etc., it can be seen that he easily manipulates
words and creates an imaginative space with them.

In his sonnets, even the rhymes are very natural and beautiful. He himself says: weight, rhyme, and line,
if thought about, is a cheap piece of paper that is not used to prick. His language recognition is related
to choosing the softest common words and unconsciously avoids dry and harsh words. He has combined
eloquence with imagination and beauty, especially that all of his poems and collections have the air of
the north and the atmosphere of Gilan can be clearly seen in his poetry. This kind of ecologicalism,
which is one of the elements of his style, is one of the products of Nimai's modernism, which connects
the poet with his environment. Along with the Ghazal, in the field of classical poetry, Do-beyti, couplets,
Masnavis and odes have been among the tests of the poet, which we always see Shion's capabilities and
successes according to the capacity of the formats. But the new poems and the white poems have been
among the most worrying moments of the poet's writing, when we see the other face of the poet in this
format, how much expressive, linguistic, emotional, etc. capacities the poet has brought with him, to the
point that a poet with all of them Beautiful and pleasant sonnets show a special tendency to write white
poems.
