Wilfred Owen and Qeysar Aminpour were two of the first war poets in their own countries who unlike their predecessors, criticized war in their war poetry. Complaining about war and seeking peace seem the major common features in war poems of these two poets. This study investigated the issue of peace in war poetry of Owen and Aminpour, and looked for the similarities and probable differences between them. This is a qualitative, descriptive research on the basis of American Comparative Literature, and the analysis of the poems is based on the premises of deconstructive theories and its major figures like Derrida.

The study displays these similarities that, both Owen and Aminpour’s war poems are elegiacal, and they exhibit the real and first-hand experiences of their poets, both compare war to ugly and unpleasant things, both are antiwar, and both seek a pervasive and multidimensional peace. We also, observed some differences between the two poet’s works, like the different rate of antiwar poems to epical poems, the facts that each poet focuses on some special and different areas of war and concentrates on some different damages of war, and, also, the poets’ different view of the soldiers and the different treatment of them. Finally, we saw that, despite the occasional differences between the two poets’ war poetry, in almost all Owen’s war poetry, and many of Aminpour’s war poems, through the exhibition of real and violent scenes of war and its
