In the field of critical literature, Siavash Kasraie and Ahmad Matar's poems can be comparatively analyzed in terms of their social background, poetic content and linguistic strategies. Applying A.van Dijk’s socio–cognitive model of discourses studies, this paper uses critical discourse analysis to identify discourses formed in the works of the poets and analyzes the ideologies and discourse-oriented linguistic mechanism of the poems. A comparative study of the poems shows that both poets, use poetic language and create a critical discourse to establish a delicate link between the world of poetry and the reality, and through this, they have been forerunners in the awakening of the revolutionary nation. The linguistic and conceptual structure of the discourses formed in poems indicate that beside commitment to fight and criticism, Kasraie and Matar have also maintained the literary commitment and the effectiveness of the poem and have used linguistic strategies to create a dominate and integrated critical discourse against dictatorship.
