Abstract

In this article, the stylistic features of two prominent writers and poets of children's literature in the contemporary period, Mahmoud Kianoosh and Nasser Keshavarz, have been studied. The research method is library and its type is analytical-descriptive. Nasser Keshavarz has succeeded in using various literary crafts in creating images, creating a magical feeling and passion, consolidating his poems and strengthening the musical dimension and beautifying his poetry, as well as applying the science of expression in both fields (verbal and spiritual). In his poetry, the crafts of repetition, exaggeration, proportion, modesty and allusion have a high frequency, which shows the poet's attention and sensitivity to the musical dimension of the poem. Kianoosh, on the one hand, because of his knowledge of world literature, and on the other hand, because of his connection with the world of children, was able to recite poems for children that have both a strong literary image and are suitable for the world of children in line with the current teachings in the country's education system. By capturing the weights and forms of ancient poetry, he was able to create various but appropriate weights and forms for children and adolescents, and in fact create a flow. In one sentence, it can be said that Mahmoud Kianoosh founded and identified poetry for children in Iran.
