Abstract

This study examines the influence of classical and contemporary Persian poets on Yazd poetry from 1941 to 1981. Using an analytical-descriptive approach grounded in the intertextuality theory, it investigates poetic influence through istiqbāl (response poetry), taḍmīn (quotation), talmiḥ (allusion), and linguistic features. The findings reveal that Yazd poets were influenced significantly more by classical figures, particularly Ḥāfiẓ and Saʿdī, than by contemporaries. The poets divide into two groups: "tradition-oriented traditionalists" who remained imitative and "tradition-oriented modernists" who preserved classical forms while innovating in language, imagery, and theme. Traditionalists employ archaic vocabulary and structures, while modernists use contemporary standard Persian. Shams Kasmāʾī's formal experiments, predating Nīmā Yūshīj's modernist movement, demonstrate that the poetic environment in Yazd was engaged with national literary developments.
