Breaking Norms in Hooshang Irani's Poems

Breaking norms is one of the most effective ways for making the language prominent, and composing unfamiliar poems. It has been used by poets for a long time. Hooshang Irani is one of the poets who has widely used this technique in his poems. Literary critics try to answer how Irani has employed this technique in his poems to break the norms. Some studies show that he usually used different strategies to perform this technique and these strategies are not the same in all his poems. One of the most popular kinds of norm-breaking is a written one used in different forms. One of his norm-breaking strategies is related to time in two ways: diction and syntax. His norm-breaking is also seen in the figures of speech such as simile, personification, synsthesia, and paradoxical images. In addition to syntax and diction, he employed this technique in sounds, as well.
