The Poetic Imagery in Abdullah Al-Anzi’s Diwan "A Song for One Who Never Returns"

Abstract

This study aims to examine poetic imagery through the poetry collection A Song for One Who Departs and Does Not Return by the poet Abdullah Al-Enzi, depending  on the stylistic approach as the most appropriate methodology for the study of imagery. The study concludes that poetic imagery, in its various patterns and sources, constitutes a systematic artistic tool in shaping Al-Enzi’s poetic experience, as he employs multiple images to construct a single meaning. Furthermore, the sources of these images are closely connected to his personal experience, his awareness of reality and heritage, enabling him to evoke his inner psychological and emotional depths.
