Abstract

Labor poetry is one of the subsets of committed poetry that has been popular in the works of some poets from the constitutional era to the Islamic revolution. Because after the victory of the revolution, with the change of political and social structure, the society of Iran underwent transformation and literature also underwent changes. Therefore, the course of evolution of this type of poetry in the post-revolution period can be investigated according to these changes. In order to carry out this research, the works of pre-revolutionary labor poets who wrote poetry during nearly three decades after the Islamic revolution, as well as the most prominent collection of post-revolution poets' poems in various formats, have been examined. In this research, using the descriptive-analytical method and relying on the research products obtained from the study in the library and the note-taking an attempt has been made to analyze the labor poetry in the decades after the revolution. According to the findings of this research, after the revolution until the end of the eighties, labor poetry has stagnated. It was not neither welcomed by the new poets of this period nor continued in the poems of labor poets before the revolution. But in the 90s, we have seen the relative prosperity of labor poetry compared to other decades after the revolution until now. The remarkable thing about the labor poetry of the nineties is that it has undergone changes in terms of content and theme compared to the labor poetry of the pre-revolution era. These changes have been shown by citing examples of labor poetry of the nineties and comparing it with labor poetry before the revolution.
