The Poetry of Nazek Al-Malaika from Dreamy Romanticism to Mature Realism: An Analytical Study
Abstract
This research seeks to uncover the dark areas that remained unknown in the poetic experience of the pioneering poet Nazik al-Malaika because most of those who read her poetry are still ignorant of her recent intellectual transformations, and they claim that the poet is still scooping from the sea of her deep sadness, as if they thought that her experience remained at a place where the dreamy romance .
It is most likely that a large number of modern poetry students have not been informed of her realistic experience, which was exemplified by her last two groups (the colors of the sea change Baghdad 12) and (for prayer and the revolution in Beirut 18). Her intellectual material is high spiritual values and faith, and these three patterns are linked to a single thread of thought that flows into the sea of her realistic experience. It is a reality that the poet faced bravely, and therefore she gained maturity and was characterized by intellectual depth to the greatest extent.
The research depends on prolonging the creative text in most of what it seeks to accomplish, because the text is the final decisive factor in judging creative experiences, but it sometimes uses the historical method to find out the reasons behind this shift in the creative experience of the poet.
After a careful pause in front of Nazik's poetic experience, it became clear that she went through two main phases: the current romantic stage, which lasted for three decades and more, and the mature realism stage that began to become evident with the issuance of her two aforementioned groups, but that last stage did not become clear to her except over years of Struggle and struggle.
