The components of mortality in the contemporary poetry

Death is an experience that does not fall into the realm of human experience. For this reason, humans have reacted differently and sometimes contradictory to it and have made different judgments about it. Persian poetry in all its forms has been the narrator of feelings and thoughts that Persian poets have had and still have in the face of life and death. In this research, the views, perceptions and encounters of 9 contemporary poets (Shahriyar, Fereydoun Tolli, Shamloo, Siavash Kasraei, Nosrat Rahmani, Nader Naderpour, Shafiei Kadkani, Hossein Manzavi, and Qaisar Aminpour) on death are analyzed.

This research has been done by descriptive-analytical method and based on library data retrieval.

The research findings show that the components of mortality in the poems of these poets are mortality and aversion to death, mortality and mortality, romantic perception of death, mourning, longing for the instability of life and the passage of life, desire for immortality, and political symbolic use of death.

The most evidence and examples of poetry among these seven categories belong to the category of mortality and mortality. The main reasons for mortality in these poems are liberation from worldly attachments, martyrdom, submission to death, liberation from the sorrows and problems of life, and the futility of life. Also, there is the most connection between love and death in the works of Shahriyar, NosratRahmani, Naderpour and Manzavi, among which Manzavi is prominent. In the poems of these poets, wherever death has a positive face and is praised, it is associated with the sacred concept of martyrdom, or that there are spiritual and religious reasons such as abandoning worldly belongings. Part of the positive face of death in the eyes of these poets, especially Tully and Rahmani, is because of the futility and lack of value in life and a way to get rid of the many problems of the time. Also, the main reason for presenting a negative image of death is fear of it and regret for the instability of life.
