ظاهرة الغموض في الشعر العربي الحديث

The Phenomenon of Obscurity in The Modern Arabic Poetry

This research is a critical study on the phenomenon of obscurity in the modern Arabic poetry. At the beginning of the research it was pointed out that the phenomenon of obscurity in the Arabic poetry began with the poets born in the Abbasid era who were known as the tropes (Badi) poets . The research links between the obscurity of modern poetry and the movement of modernism in the world literature. The obscurity of ancient poetry comes from the difficulty of the words, while the obscurity of the ancient poetry is the result of the poetic vision and discourse. Salah Abdel Sabour believes that the task of the modern poet is to restore the language of Arabic poetry as it was in the past, the language of daily life. As for Adonis, he believes that the Arab society lives in a time of backwardness, and the poet is required to shake him and not reconcile with him, because this will keep these audiences in backwardness.
