Erfaniyat Dar Adab Farsi

Literature, or basically art, communicates human truth, feelings and emotions, presents a slice of life from a critical stance, or highlights some aspect of human desires. This, in different arts, is done through different means or media. In literature this medium is language. All a writer or poet has is a pack of words by which he or she must manage to express his or her mind. So, an author might be said to be an able one when he or she makes the best and most fruitful use of words. This use of words in poetry creates a special language which, deviating from the norms and standards of usual conversation, forms a constructed or formless shape. This is especially true about Free Verse or modern poetry.  In this article we want to see what gives this scattered shape unity and keeps its different parts together. For this purpose we have consulted the views and theories of Russian Formalists and English Romantic poets. As an example of application, a poem of an Iranian contemporary poet has been analyzed.
