Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study aims to analyze the stylistic characteristics of Hamidi-Shirazi"s poems and explain his position in contemporary Persian poetry. Hamidi, by simultaneously utilizing classical traditions and emerging literary trends, is among the poets who have represented the transition from tradition to modernity in the fields of language, imagery, and thought in a distinctive way. Accordingly, the main objective of this study is to identify stylistic components at three levels of language, literature, and thought in his poetry.

METHODOLOGY: The research method in this study is descriptive-analytical and uses library resources and document analysis. Research data were collected using purposeful sampling from the collection of poems by Mehdi Hamidi-Shirazi.

FINDINGS: The research findings at the linguistic level (phonetic, syntactic and lexical) show that Hamidi Shirazi relies on the Bahr al-Ramal (especially the Salem octagonal sand) in his outer music (weight) and on the present tense in his side music. At the syntactic level, the dominance of the adverbial and non-normative aspects with the focus on verb transposition is notable. The vocabulary used in his poetry is also a combination of archaism and sensory vocabulary. At the literary level, the poet in his spiritual creation makes the most of the devices of allusion, contrast and proportion, and in the forms of imagination, sensory-to-sensory analogy and explicit metaphor have a high frequency. At the intellectual level, the main focus of his poems is romantic experiences (such as separation and sadness), which are mixed with themes of lamentation over the past and the passing of life, and are reinforced by the use of epic and historical allusions.

CONCLUSION: The research results indicate that Hamidi-Shirazi"s poetic style is a result of adherence to the classical standards of Persian literature, artistic use of literary devices and sensory imagery that serve to express the poet"s romantic emotions and personal concerns; characteristics that have given his poems a unique melodic structure and lexical identity.
