Poetic memory in Mohammed Fahad Al-iss's Poetry

Abstract

Memory has always been a key term in philosophical activities and in modern sciences. In the literary experiences, memory is a very important subject as it relates to the human experience. It can be argued that memory has a role to play in all literary experiences. Memory is the storage for all life experiences that human beings go through; as it records the different attitudes, events, and knowledge in people’s lives. Memory provides the writer - poet or prose - with everything he needs to complete the creative process.

Every poet has memories, but what distinguishes Muhammad al-Fahd al-Issa is that he was interested in expressing memory and remembering. In most of his texts, we find him writing about memory, not through it; and this is the primary reason to conduct this study. Several other reasons include: the presence of memory and memory in the meaning of a number of his texts, and its expansion at all stages of his poetic experience, as well as the diversity of notes in his poetry, the scope of memories, and the multiplicity of contexts related to the anniversary.

This research consists of an introduction which is an entry that shows the beginnings of interest in memory, a link between memory and literature, the importance of memory in the experience of Alissa. The first section conducts the idea of memoirs, its diversity between places and self, between mono and multiple memoirs, and clarity and ambiguity. The second sections deals with the various contexts of memory in the texts of Alissa, indicating the types of contexts in which memory was active and manifested. the conclusion ends with the most important findings of this study followed by the study’s references.
