A glance at Ahmad Azizi's poems

Ahmad Azizi is a contemporary poet who has incorporated the modern worries into his poems. Expressing meaning in his poems is influenced by his understanding of fields such as mystic literature, philosophy, and religion so that while creating images and figures of speech, in addition to Quranic verses, Hadiths, mystical, Islamic, philosophic, and literary terms, he benefits from the names of Iranian and western poets and scholars and their works, from seasons and flowers’ names, from the names of streets and neighbourhoods in Tehran, even from the machinery and mechanical instruments. The hypothesis in this study is based on the idea that expression of emotions in Azizi’s poems which has given an aggressive attitude toward mystical concepts, has formed by semantic music. This research studies the book of ‘Tarane-haye Iili’ by Shafi’i Kadkani. The research aimed at investigating aesthetic elements such as emotion, imagination, language, music and form in Azizi’s poems and searching and evaluating his words in his mental understanding.
