Abstract

Since a long time ago human being and nature have had a mutual influence on each other. As the civil institutions and technological tools have developed, human being has been influenced by nature in a period of time and in return it has made changes in great scale which in some cases have caused environmental and ecological threats. For this reason, the study of environmental issues in literature is considered as an essential element in comparative literature studies and a cultural discourse has been made for protection of the environment. As a cultural media, literature and specially poetry have a significant effect on behavioral and motivational domains and on awareness of their audience toward the environment. In Persian contemporary poems, Nima and his successors have created a new point of view toward nature and environment which had some of the poets like Sohrab to encourage people to respect their environment. This study will analyze the point of view of contemporary poetry toward environment, the position of it and the way of environmental education with an emphasis on Sohrab’s poems as the establisher of this approach. As a result, it’s been figured out that the need of paying attention to the environment and making people aware of the ways they can respect it has led to the emergence of a new domain in poetry with educational functions, this domain was established by Sohrab Sepehri for the first time in Persian poetry.
