Journal Title: Poetry Studies - Year 2022, Vol 14, Issue 2

Abstract

Introduction: In Iran, poetry and narrative poetry have a history from pre-Islamic times.In the Islamic period, narrative poetry was popular almost from the beginning of Dari poetry. In the contemporary period, the distance between narration and poetry has become very small, and this feature is very evident in the poems of some contemporary poets. It can be said that the movement of contemporary poetry is towards the structure of fiction; In other words, in addition to poetic elements such as imagination, music and image, poetry also has narrative elements such as character, dialogue, time, place and scene in its structure, and the frequency of these elements is such that this category of poems can be called narrative poetry. Among the differences between narration in poetry and fictional narration, we can mention the shortness of poetic narratives, the generality of narration in poetry, and the neglect of details and the one-dimensionality of the characters.
