Manifestations of the Other in the Poetry of Abdul Razzaq Al-Amiri: A Model

Abstract

The question "What is the Other?" often comes to mind, and the answer is: the Other is everything different, meaning everything that is not us. It has representation in our scientific and literary life and exerts a significant influence on the souls of poets, writers, and literati. The Other occupies a large space in the arts of poetry when addressed through the language of the self. The Other is the self in its interaction with others, women, symbols, myths, estrangement, deprivation, and everything that affects the poet’s life, emotions, rituals, and psychological factors. The researcher deemed it appropriate to depict this Other, delve into it, and explore its psychological implications to clarify its state of influence, interaction, and transformation in the life of the Najafi poet Abdul Razzaq Al-Amiri and the depth of his experience. This is manifested in how he conveyed these feelings to us in a beautiful creative language.
