Yoosh (IP) - Ali Esfandiari, also known as Nima Yooshij, was born on November 12, 1897, in Yoosh Village, Mazandaran Province, northern Iran, and later became the founder of modern Persian poetry in Iran.

Iran Press/Iran News: The path that the poet created became known as “Nimayi Poetry” or modern Persian poem.

Nima Yooshij's style of poetry is best known to writers and poets for his famous poems such as "Darvag," "Ay Adamha” and “Afsaneh” (The Legend).

Nima's house is in Yoosh, a village in Mazandaran province.

Yoosh is a relatively ancient village with mountain weather conditions where its intact nature and rustic texture are well preserved.

The house of Nima's father in the village has made the area more touristic.

Nima’s house, where he was buried in its yard, is one of the beautiful buildings of the Qajar historical era. The house was registered in the list of national monuments of Iran in 1996, and in 2009 it was introduced as the museum of the father of modern Persian poetry and literature.

Nima died on 4 January 1960 at the age of 64.
