Abstract :

Analysis  of  the  inspiration  of  poets  verses  are  from  the  most significant subjects in literary criticism. Appreciating their effectiveness, Shafiei Kadkani's poems are considered as traditional and contemporary poems.  At  his  early works,  Shafiei  Kadkani  was  influenced  by many traditional and contemporary poets, but studying his Shabkhani collection of  poems    shows  that  how  he  was  inspired  by  Iranian  poet,  Mehdi Akhavan Sales more than others. He was influenced by Akhavan's conscious and language so much that his thoughts and method of explanation can be found identical. The present research aims at analyzing and appreciating the Shafiee’s ideology and language in the Shabkhani collection and finding the common motifs and similarities in language and thought with Akhevan's poem. Therefore, mentioning the poetic evidence, this paper tries to analyze and investigate the way Shafiei Kadkani has been influenced and inspired by Akhavan’s poetic language and thought.
