The Singular Sensory Image in The Poetry of Nizar Qabbani

The sensational imagery in literary works is a viable artistic way to discover the merits of the poetic text and to identify the semantics of structures and phrases. The research focused on the sensational imagery of the poet Nizar according to the human senses. It is apparent that sensational imagery depends, in the first place, on the visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, and gustatory senses of human beings. I have tried hard to collect examples from the poetry collections of the poet to determine the meaning and function of the sensational imagery in the texts. I have limited my study to some selected example works of the poet, taking into account the sheer amount of sensational images that he has used in his books which might be difficult for this research to cover or count without affecting the credibility required in a scientific research. It was possible for the researcher here to collect example evidences of sensational imagery as being used in the poems and categorize them accordingly as well as clarifying their meanings and the connotations behind these texts. I preferred to focus on the most common sensational imagery in the poet's collections because they represent the artistic depiction of the experiences and emotions of the poet’s literary world and interests. It can be said that sensational imagery is one of the basic components from which poets derive their poetic depiction and use it to decorate their poetic texts with an aesthetic painting. Through the mechanism of induction in Nizar's poetry, it becomes clear to us that there are singular sensational images in all their patterns and forms, which in turn clearly reflect the poet's experiences and emotions.
