        One of the newest approaches to literary criticism is the cognitive approach. The macro metaphors that are needed to understand literary works use the mechanisms of conceptual metaphors in this view. In this article, relying on the cognitive concept of metaphor, the authors intend to comparatively examine the macro metaphor of knowledge in the poems of Bikas and Yamini Sharif. The research data is the poem "Book" from the collection of poems "Inak Dokhtari Sarzamine Man Ast" (2011), composed by Bikas and the poem "Good Book" written by Yamini Sharif. The main questions of the research are how the concept of knowledge is reflected in these poems and how micro-conceptual metaphors are integrated in the superstructure of these poems by the macro metaphor of knowledge. The present study is based on the theories of Likoff and Johnson (1980) and Kuchsh (2010), and is conducted qualitatively. The research findings show that the micro metaphors used in the superstructure of these poems have a basic infrastructure called macro knowledge metaphor. Manuscript profile
