Postmodernism after the appearenc and transformation of Western literature has attracted the attention of some contemporary Persian writers and poets. Shams Langroudi is one of these poets. After various linguistic experiences before and after the revolution, Langroudi embarked on a constructivist and normative language.Influenced by this approach, some co-ordinates appeared in Langroudi's poetry, which resembled the co-ordinates and components of postmodernism. In this essay, features of Langroudi's poetry, which relate to the components of postmodernism and somehow reflect this poet's tendency to postmodernism, have been analyzed and analyzed. One of these components is the "uncertainty" and emphasis on the relative components of the theological elements that Langroudi has used to deconstruct, heterogeneous, and semantic rupture; the other is the "paradox". It has been used as a metaphor for doubt and multiplicity of meaning in Langroodi's poetry; "inconsistency" is another component of postmodernism used in Langroudi's word to create wonder and wonder in the reader and to make him a subjective exploration and challenge. It is taken from other components of postmodernism that appeared in Langroudi's poetry, "suspension."Suspension has been used as a trick to create ambiguity by delaying the transmission of the message and discovering the definitive meaning of the word.

MaftoonAmini is an experimentalist poet.Theelementsof his poetryrevealhis desire to make a change andattain new experiences. This tendency has led to some intermittent changes in the structure and language of his poetry and provided the ground for the emergence of exclusive features in his works.

Parvin is the Persian literature’s shining star. The beautiful form and rich content of her poems are not hidden to any researcher. To this end, numerous subject matters and topics of her anthology which contain elegant and thoughtful resources necessitate to be searched which the current paper attempts to carry out. The present research is a qualitative study. In this study the reflection of oppression and tyranny, based on Parvin’s viewpoint, has been investigated. Evidently, she has used exciting examples, debates, elegies, odes, Mathnavis, and multiple poems to illustrate sagely the oppression and oppressor and their consequences and repercussions. She acknowledges that oppression causes the darkness of our soul and disreputation and destruction of humans in this world and the next one. Therefore, she invites people to oppose oppression. In Parvin’s viewpoint and thinking, oppressor has been likened to a snake, a biting dragon, a predacious wolf, and a sharp blade. Also, rulers, agents, judges, predators, and money-grubbers are considered four categories of oppressors who in one way or another are people’s killing thunderbolt and calamity. Parvin’s utopia is a place without oppression which provides welfare and tranquility including values for human beings. She believes that people’s acceptance of oppression is the reason for the tyranny of tyrants and people’s honesty and dishonesty arise from rulers’ honesty and dishonesty.

Studying the ancient texts can help us to obtain some information on new terms that could make us familiar with different aspects of our past life. The existence of the sometimes complex terms could face researchers with problems in understanding the exact meanings of different works of Persian literature; since due to lack of accurate information on how they work, it does not seem easy for a modern audience of poetry and prose to understand these terms. In the meantime, lexicographers’ report does not resolve any problems due to incomplete information and sometimes due to confusing information in this regard. The game of Backgammon is one of these kinds of terms. Using the inductive method and precise readout, the present research intends to study great works of poetry and mysticism to analyze the complexities and subtleties of this game. Research results show that except for Ibn Yamin and Khaghani fewer poets had mastered this game. Moreover, the frequency of these terms is used for rare and new purposes.
