Abstract

Persian poetry underwent a new phase in the course of the Islamic Revolution of Iran. During this great historical event, remarkable developments occurred in both Persian Poetry and Prose. During three decades of postrevolutionary period, poets inspired by the precepts of the holy Quran and Imam Khomeini's guidelines have made fundamental changes in poetry. These changes include orienting poetic concepts toward human and Islamic values, deconstrncting the form, deviating form the norms in terms of the integration of poetic concepts with epic concepts and reviewing profound spiritual and religious thoughts.
