Abstract
Reza Brahni is considered one of the most prominent characters in contemporary literature. Despite the large volume of his poetic works, the three books of Zalullah, Ismail, and Address to the Butterflies and the latter are his most influential works. On the other hand, Brahni's name is intertwined with postmodernism, and many critics consider Parvaneh's address to be the most important contemporary Persian postmodernist book in the field of poetry. However, another work of Brahni, Ismail's long poem, which was written before the address to the butterflies,It also has traces of postmodernism. In this research, the author has analyzed the descriptive-analytical method of Ismail's poetry and some of the postmodern works of the world, looking at the issues raised in mythology and the postmodern components of Ismail's poetry and found these components in it. The result of this research shows the presence of postmodern components in Ismail's poetry; In such a way that it can be seen as the beginning - albeit a weak one - of postmodernism in contemporary Iranian poetry.
