قصيدة القناع في شعر عبد العزيز عسير

الملخص EN

The present paper studies a phenomenon in the verse of a modern Iraqi poet, namely (Al-Qina’/the Mask).

The two researchers chose to study this phenomenon in the verse of the poet Abdul-Azeez Aseer because he used the mask frequently in his poems.

Because the era in which he lived was marked by authoritarian pressure.

So the poet resorted to this method (Al-Qina’/ the Mask) to express what he wanted indirectly, as he talks about his conditions and the conditions of his society to which he belongs with a margin of freedom without fear of prosecution and surveillance.

The poet uses the mask on the tongue of a man at one time and the tongue of animals at another, and he was able to speak well behind his mask until he was able to convey his voice and show the injustice that he and his society were suffering from.

The poet was able to connect the times and the characters within his mask, as we find him linking between what happened in the past and what is happening in the present, as well as what the characters have suffered through history and what he suffers in his time.

The poet chooses the mask that communicates with his voice, and made his voice and the voice of the character in which he disguised himself as one voice, as he disappeared behind that character, expressing through it what he was shaking himself.
