Abstract

Allusion is referred to as a story, tale, parable, poem, verse or hadith, without explicit details, which enriches the spiritual and emotional sides as well as imaginative and affective sides of speech. The poets' approach to the allusion is not the same. Studying the ways of poets and writers looking at the allusion, especially the exploration of the allusion types, and the ways and devices of developing of meaning and structure of the allusion in their works, illuminates valuable proofs in the style, structure, and content of their works. Qaisar Aminpour is one of the most successful poets of neo-sonnet that his allusions despite many similarities with others allusions, have new features. In this article, the allusions of Qaisar’s neo-sonnets, techniques for de-familiarization of the allusions and their structures are analyzed in a descriptive-analytic method. The results show that in the Qaiser’s neo-sonnets, although the allusions appear to have largely ceased to be horizontal axis, many of them have evolved in the vertical axis and, in some cases, have reached the structural allusion level. In these cases, the allusion is spread throughout the poem or at least to a few caplets. Aminpour prefers to create a well and solid structure using the allusion-generator and ambiguity-creator proportions. In content, non-Iranian religious allusions are more likely to involve his mind and psyche, and literary allusions then have more frequency. In Aminpoor’s neo-sonnet the non-Iranian mythical, historical, and mystical allusions have not been used.
