Abstract :
“West and Westoxification “are words that intellectuals and freethinkers have used in their works following the colonization and exploitation of our country the airm of which was to clarify peopls mindset about this ominous phenomenon of the 20 century .The western cultural imperialism becomes more threatening when the native poets and writers become their talking voice and out of the mouth of the friends the speech and demands of the enemy be heard. By investigating the works of the contemporary poets and writers we find that some poets have deliberately changed their stylistic and ethical methods in favor of the Westerns and some others have pursued western patterns unintentionally being influenced by the dominant social priorities . Among them Forough FARROkhzad and Simin Behbahani are among those in whose works a combination of these two methods can be found. In this descriptive –analytic paper we are to evaluate some of the western teachings pervading the poems of these two poets .
