Presence of the City in The. Collection of Poetry ( Fire does not inspire me but my blood) By The poet Abdullwahab Ismael
Abstract
Cities were and still are a source of inspiration and the focal point of the poets' purposes. Our study of the city in the poetry of the poet (Abdul Wahhab Ismail) is not limited to describing the city with its well-known traditional scene. The poet's sense of detail and depth. Mosul and the very ancient civilizational and cultural references that this word bears...it represents the whole country for the poet, with all its details, as if it was a city formed from many cities, as it was established in very old establishments, and was subjected to destruction and devastation several times, and then it rises again and builds its entity , and her human beings. The study deals with the ability of the city as a social place capable of withstanding the fluctuations of the conditions of the human self, and the emotions and feelings it bears, with changes in its threatened existential status over the ages.. The poet Abdel Wahhab Ismail focuses his energetic emotions in sumptuous artistic images in the painful meditation on the reality of the city that he prepares as the cradle. And the mother, the symbol, the identity, the land of the sun and the beauty..and he looks at its destruction in the new dark era, at the hands of the barbarians of the new world. The research consists of several axes, an attempt by the researcher to approach the texts critically as a recipient of the text, searching for the places of beauty in it.. through the introspection of the poet, and what Mosul represents in himself and his being.
