Abstract

    The space of poetic formation is the basic and essential element of the poetic process and a central goal of the construction of the poem. Any study in poetry criticism must pay attention to the necessity of researching the requirements and components of this space, in addition to its style and its impact on carrying the poetic statement that expresses the poet’s experience in it. The present research attempted to interrogate the poetic space in a study that dealt with an important poem by the pioneering poet Nazik Al-Malaika entitled “I”. The title of the poem entails terms of philosophical, cultural, literary and poetic problems at the textual level, and at the level of poetic discourse as well. The study presents a comprehensive textual analysis using methods of textual modernity, in order to reveal the apparent and hidden layers in this poem that represented the nature of the poet’s thought at an important stage of its formation. The study emphasized the poetic aesthetic aspect of the poem as an important part of the space of the poem in its ability to influence and achieve a reading response at the level of reception.
