Damascus-Sana
Yamamat al-Maghib is the fifth group of poetry by the poet Yassin Aziz Hammoud, which takes the traditional style of the Arabic poem with clear attempts to move towards modernity through images and meanings.
The tendency to traditionalism appears in Hammoud’s texts through the use of the ancient style, their meanings, vocabulary, and their lexical expressions, such as his saying in a poem on the path of the stars and kindness is concerned with the fragrance of its beauty ...
However, Hammoud sometimes leans towards modernity in creating new images, symbolic meanings and modern compositions through the creation of new relationships between things, such as the promoter of poems and the pronoun of roses in Lea’s poem, where he says: “I have compassion on you, Leah. ... my love is like the morning alive.
We also find among the many traditional poems a few texts that belong to the poetry of the tafilah, to confirm the tendency of the poet Hammoud to the modernity of form and content, as in the poem "Oh my child and the gulls of dreams."
About eighty poems within the collection, whose concerns varied between sentimental, patriotic and nationalistic, in a whispered bouh full of music and rhythm harmonizing with meaning in 182 pages of medium volume and issued by Dar Baal for printing, publishing and distribution.
The poet Hammoud, born in Hama, works in the education sector. He publishes in Syrian and Arab newspapers and periodicals. His works are on the banks of al-Jarh and your eyes are like Sham.
