Abstract

Ahmed Shamlou is considered one of the famous figures of new poetry. Since the image is often one of the important elements of poetry and according to the theory of intertextuality, which considers any text to be influenced by its previous or contemporary texts, by examining poetic images, it is possible to understand the degree of connection or lack of connection between the poem and the ancient poetic heritage. For this purpose, the images expressed in the form of simile, metaphor, recognition, irony and artistic attribute in his poetry have been examined and analyzed.

The current research has been done with descriptive-analytical method and with a view to the theory of intertextuality and the approach of literary traditionalism. Check

The analysis of the research data has shown that despite the opinion of Shamlu's opponents, the poetic images of ancient Persian poets are reflected in his poetry in an explicit (the same image in a new context) and implied (a part of the image, an image with a new concept in a new context) form. Among these, the most direct or explicit reflection has taken place in the poetic images of irony and simile, and the indirect or implicit reflection in the poetic images of recognition, metaphor, and artistic attribute, respectively.
