An Analysis of Personification in Kaiser Aminpour Poetry

Abstract

Kaiser Aminpour poetry which has been compiled in eight collections consists of live and dynamic poems. In these poems particular personality traits have penetrated into objects, natural phenomena and abstract concepts, creating a sense of personification. There is a kind of correspondence between personification and the idea of "pre-operational child". Based upon the study, the following conclusions can be drawn: 1. One of the widely used figures of speech in Kaiser Aminpour poetry is personification. 2. Personification is mostly used along with symmetry. 3. In the two works of "To quote swallow" and "Such as spring, such as river", the poet makes use of the reviving of nature in spring in order to attribute this feature to natural phenomena. 4. The two works of “Flowers all Sunflowers” and “Morning respiration” involve the most instances of personification. 5. Earth, sky and wind among natural phenomena and heart and love among abstract concepts constitute the most cases of personification.
