Abstract

This research seeks to study some poetic models that dealt with the image of the homeland represented here in Iran in a manner different from what many studies and researches interested in literature are accustomed to. The experience of drawing the image of the homeland is one of the deepest poetic experiments in the literature of the diaspora.  Because it is directly related to the conscience of a poet who expresses the feelings of a group to which he belongs; a group deprived - by choice or by force - of the homeland. The image of the homeland has always been mixed with the colors of sad groans that express longing and nostalgia for this homeland, and these poems were sometimes an attempt to embody the upheaval of this homeland and paint a dark vision of the national reality.
