        The contemporary period in Iran's history can be seen in all aspects as a battleground between tradition and modernity. This conflict is also clearly seen in the field of literature. Some have considered tradition as a cause of deterioration and have risen against it, and some have completely adhered to tradition and have not embraced innovation. In the meantime, there have been those who, while adhering to some components of tradition, also considered modernity and novelty as a necessity and have taken steps in this direction. Hossein Manzavi, one of the neoclassical lyricists, has such a view; He has adapted Ghazal to Nima's theories and considers himself one of Nima's "phoenix in bloom". At the same time, he calls his ghazal Hafezvar (like Hafez' poetry) and acknowledges the influence of tradition in his ghazal. This duality can be seen especially in the field of theme and content, which is the subject of the present research. This approach has caused traditional topics and themes to be seen in his poetry alongside contemporary and new topics and individual experiences; Physical love and eroticism, aesthetics different from the beloved, and realism and relying on individual experiences can be considered as aspects of his modernization in the field of theme. In the current research, the dimensions of isolated traditionalism and modernism have been investigated in the subject and theme. The result of the present research shows the integration of modernism and traditionalism in different dimensions of theme, language, and poetic images in isolated poetry. Manuscript profile
