A personal stylistics opens a door to many studies in literature. Hossein Monzavi used various tactics for personalization of his lyrical language. Thus, investigation of various aspects of Monzavis"s lyrical language is a way for identification of his literary skills which can be a step towards identification of his stylistic characteristics. As he applied language, descriptions, imagery, and novel thoughts in poetry, he is considered as one of the innovators in this area. This study attempts to investigate personal stylistic characteristics of Monzavi"s poetry (relying on sonnets) as one of the pioneers and ushers of sonnet in three areas: linguistic (phonetic, vocabulary, and grammatical), literary (simile, metaphor, irony, trope, and figures of speech), and intellectual (contents and purport of poems). It should be mentioned that the authors uses Monzavi"s "poetry collection", published by Mohammad Fathi in 2009.
