A Study of the Status of “Trench”, “Boot” and “Plaque” in Hormozgan’s Poetry of Resistance

Abstract Literature of Resistance speaks of human beings’ resistance against military aggression of aliens which lead to war. In such literature, combatants become friends with their trenches, tighten their boots’ braces, and prepare themselves for confronting the enemies with their plaques as their code of entity. In the poets versified in the literature of resistance, “plaque” is the martyr who come back from the battle with a piece of bone. In this situation, the “trench”, itself is also one of the main and major implements and is the place of the martyr’s eternal flying to heavens. People usually know martyrs in the frontier with their plaques, trench. Such subject is vastly interested to Hormozgani poets, and versified in two forms of blank verse and classic poetries. What is obvious is that literature of resistance commences 25 years ago by colonel Morteza Nassiri in its modern way, and now is current expansively among younger poets who haven’t even seen the war or even weren’t born in war era. The present paper, through the method of content analysis and library research tries to examine the poetry of resistance under the titles of “trench”, “boot” and “plaque” in Hormozgan’s poetry of resistance.
