Defamiliarization, as the key element in literariness, has been used for analyzing poetry in formalist literary criticism. Later, it got the attention of other critics like Jakobson, Tinianov, and others. Defamiliarization and deviation from the norm are amongst the methods used by Qeysar Aminpour in his poems. In this article, various types of deviation from the norm in Qeysar’s poems are studied using a descriptive-analytic method generally based on Linch’s theory. Here, the brief analysis of his poems shows that, using defamiliarization made Aminpour's poems richer from a stylistic linguistic, and aesthetic point of view, and it has also helped the message to be conveyed in a better way. Deviation from the norms is best represented in syntactic and semantic features.
