Analytic study of some poems of Amir Hushang Ebtehaj compared with major poems of Manuchehr Atashi

Abstract

The present study was conducted to carry out an analytic study of some poems of Amir Hushang Ebtehaj compared with major poems of Manuchehr Atashi. To this end some verses from the poem books of Hushang Ebtehaj and Manuchehr Atashi were extracted and then they were analyzed and explicated respectively. The major findings of the study show that the aforementioned poets are among the contemporary stylistic and movement maker poets who have created artistic works in both areas of traditional and modern poetry styles and have special linguistic structure and modern imaging. Atashi and Ebtehaj fell in love with Nima School and first they write their poems in accord with Nima’s poetry and in line with him. This significance started from before the revolution and just from the beginning of the contemporary era and has continued up to now. The elements of nature in the poetry of Atashi and Ebtehaj are among the most significant raw materials to make images. The main difference between the linguistic mechanism of the traditional poetry of Atashi and Ebtehaj is that the poetry image in Ebtehaj’s works is not quite various and this feature has lead to the ‘univocal’ quality of the poetry. While Atashi in modern poetry tries to go beyond the transference of meaning and create a new world of words, sounds and colors and create the ‘polysemy’ language in his poetry.
