جماليات توظيف الأسطورة في القصيدة العربية المعاصرة

Abstract EN

There is no doubt that the use of legends in the contemporary Arab poem is one of the most important expressive and aesthetic mechanisms that the poet has used to embody his poetic and emotional experience together.

The use of legend has grown in great significance starting with Appolo, poets in exile and ending with Badr Shaker Al-Sayyab, Salah Abdel-Sabour, Amal Dunqul, Nazik Al-Malaika, and others, until it has became, rather, the most important artistic manifestations of this poetry.

Its use has constituted a distinct stylistic feature that any collection of poetry can hardly devoid of these mythological and symbolic signs.

So, thanks to it, the contemporary poet - Western and Arab alike - is able to portray to the recipient the new daily reality using literary images distinguished by different artistic and aesthetic expressions.
