Damascus-SANA
The Iraqi poet Talal Al-Ghawar, who resides in Syria, is one of the pioneers of the contemporary poetic movement in Iraq, and his experience over decades has been distinguished by his skill in employing the linguistic vocabulary and employing the image.
Through a recently published book entitled “The Poetic Discourse of the Poet Talal Al-Ghawar,” the product of this poet is examined through an analytical study of the critic Riad Ghanem Al-Ghaith.
In the book, the rainy critic studies the poems of the poet Ghawar and how he employs vocabulary and words in his texts and does not engage in random, chaotic alignment.
The author of the book shows that the poet Ghawar works to convey his poems with the hidden meanings behind the apparent meanings, and Ghathith stops at the axes that the poet used in the texts and how to address the problems that faced his career and analyze the topics he touched.
The author referred to the poet's creativity by not repeating the words because he makes the words and connotations a direction he goes to formulate what he wants without pretension.
The author believes that language for the poet is an important and basic element in the literary work that constitutes the text. Poetic language is an art form that is formed through linguistic relations that transcend the familiar language system, just as language is the component of poetry and its sensitive nerve.
The author also studied the poetic paradox that Ghawar employs in his texts, showing the types and forms of paradoxes, to arrive at the image that he considered one of the most important elements of poetry, especially graphic images.
The author searched in Ghawar poetry metaphor, simile, metonymy, and chromatic images to put the recipient in the aesthetics of the artistic form of the poet's texts.
The author touched on the poetic rhythm as an important element in the poetic text, indicating the different concepts due to the different viewpoints of the readers and their different cultures and tendencies.
In his writings, the critic relied on many of Talal Al-Ghawar’s writings, including “Celebrating the Mornings of Poetry” and “The Beginning of Love is the Beginning of Meaning” issued by Dar Baal in Damascus and “Free Me From Your Fist” by Tammuz House and other books.
