The Blue Rose at Twilight

The Blue Rose at Twilight is a monograph to explore the Arabic Verse in its modern trends. It intends to investigate the modern poetic experiences as represented by five major poets: Nizar Kabbani( Syria), Unsi al-Haj ( Lebanon), Yasin T. Hafiz ( Iraq), Mahmoud Darwish ( Palestine), and Ali J. al- Allaq ( Iraq). Being a universal phenomenon, the poetic image in these experiments is approached by the so-called Aesthetic-cultural Approach, a critical means that links the cultural patterns of meaning to the aesthetic structure of the poem.
