The Religious Vision in Adnan Al-Sayegh’s Poetry: “An Exile” as a Model

Abstract

This research is concerned with studying the issue of vision and formation and it is a one of the most important topics of modern criticism. It is a broad and ramified subject that includes most of the literary arts and what is going on around it in terms of agreement or disagreement. Because of the importance of this subject in the Arab critical arena, I saw after consulting with the professors that the field of our study in the vision and formation, about an important Iraqi poet, he is the poet Adnan Al-Sayegh, and on the subject of (The Religious Vision in Adnan Al-Sayegh’s Poetry (An Exile) as an Example), the study specialized in the religious vision in the poetry of Adnan Al-Sayegh because of its importance in shaping his poetic text.  It dealt with the impact of heritage on poetry, and the direct intertextuality with the Quranic text and religious placement, and the use of the religious place, which revealed the poet's ability to monitor societal phenomena and interpret them as an aesthetic art through the poetic image The study relied on the analytical descriptive approach in tracking the texts and reading them closely which revealed the poet's ability to monitor societal phenomena. I reached several results, perhaps the most important of which is that religious visions are intended as a kind of poetic levels used by the poet Adnan Al-Sayegh. It is one of the poetic topics that he wrote about, and it was characterized by the religious side that he narrated in his text, and their topics differed in it, From Quranic verses that are directly invoked or the meaning is absorbed from them, or the stories of the prophets, messengers, companions and other religious personalities that are mentioned in his verses in exile, and this is what made his literature of high status and resounding success.
