In 1951 he married his second cousin, poet Forough Farrokhzad, but they divorced three years later. Ahmad Shamlou one the most important Iranian contemporary poets dedicated his book "Hava-ye Tazeh" to him. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/13/Button_enter.png He is famous for short and humerus sentences known as Cari-kalamator (کاریکلماتور in Persian). This term was first generated by Ahmad Shamlou to name Shapour's work.Some samples of his cari-kalamator are:
-The absent minded compass draws ellipses.
- The decline swims in the water fall.
- I have a lifetime to die.
- The sunflower feels indecisive in cloudy days.
- The guillotine believes that the human head is excessive.
- The cat climbs the first half of the tree because of the dog and the rest because of the bird.
- With the same speed that the cat climbs up the tree, the tree climbs down the cat.
