Quatrain as the Preface to Farrokhi Yazdi’s Work in Tufan “Storm” Newspaper

Farrokhi Yazdi is one of the innovative writers and poets in expressing social problems. By combining poetry, newspapers, and politics, he began to teach others how to deal with social issues in a new way. By Publishing the Tufan newspaper, this revolutionary poet introduced his method of struggling against oppression and injustice. For this type of struggle, he used the title of one of his quatrains at the beginning of each issue in the newspaper which was in line with social and political events. Thus, the newspaper's stance was determined. And on this basis, he presented other materials of the newspaper and addressed socio-political and critical issues. Choosing a short framework for expressing criticism is remarkable in its own way. This article examines these types of quatrains entitled: Freedom, equality, and social justice, revolution, criticism of the election and its inaccuracies, and defending the poor masses and others, and concludes that Farrokhi's method of struggle is a completely innovative one. Composing poetry and placing it as the main topic and headline of the newspaper is one of Farrokhi's innovations. These poems are thematically categorized to explain the method of the work.
