Abstract

Bushehr in southern Iran is the vanguard of contemporary literature in Iran. Bushehr’s poetry is nature-oriented, the poetry of a human being who lives in the south of Iran. This is the art of Bushehr’s poetry which using rural natural beauty creates urban and national poetry and is Post Modern; it recreates the symbols and from them creates wonderful and beautiful images. Bushehr’s poetry is not supposed to be native-world but it is believed to make Post Modernism world-native, since the future of the world is nothing but the symbol of a small village; and it speaks out that the neighbors must have mutual understanding of themselves and their identities in order to help each other attain salvation from different perspectives. Manouchehr Atashi and Ali Babachahi are the fore-runners of the symbols of contemporary poetry of Bushehr. In this article, we will study these two poets’ poetry.

1. Manouchehr Atashi’s Poetry

Manouchehr Atashi (1310-1384) was born in Bushehr. With his book of poems Ahang-e digar (Another melody) he introduced himself to Iranian literature in1339. Many critics believe that this book was more powerful and more beautiful than the first book of poems of many of the poets of his generation. It was such that Forough Farrokhzad had an envious look on it and looked at it with respect.
