Abstract :

The Islamic Revolution, as a civilization-building phenomenon, faced many fields of poetry and literature with profound development. The post-revolutionary poetry could not be a poem with aesthetic principles or preserve the social symbolism of the 1970s. Educative and moral themes emerged along with justice-seeking and identity-seeking themes, and the poets of the Islamic revolution such as Sabzevari, Harati, Azizi, Aminpour, etc. tried to crystallize popular ideals and the revolution in contemporary literature. Based on this, the present article tried to examine, analyze, and classify the revolutionary motivations in the poems of four poets of the revolution (Tahereh Saffarzadeh, Seyed Ali Mousavi Garmaroudi, Gheisar Aminpour, and Hamid Sebzevari) while examining the roots of revolution and resistance poetry. The hypothesis of the article is an emphasis on the fact that educational, stable, and critical motivations were the most important reasons for writing post-revolutionary poems in the poetry of these four. The methodology of this article is descriptive-analytical. The findings showed that among the three components of revolutionary motives (educational, stability-resistance, and criticism), the most frequent revolutionary motive among post-Islamic revolution poets is the educational motive.
