The sentimental space in contemporary Algerian poetry;Selected models

Abstract

This article studies contemporary Algerian poetry - the period of the 1980s - by studying the works of the following Algerian poets; Muhammad Mustafa Al-Ghamari with poetry collections (Hadith of the Sun and Memory, Reveal in the Season of Secrets), Othman Loussif with poetry collections (The Lustrousness of Jasmine, Weddings of Salt), and Al-Akhdar Floss with poetry collections (I Love You is Not a Final Confession, Arajeen of Nostalgia). This study dealt with the selected models as themes indicating the maturity of the poetic experience of these poets, whose imagination played a role in enriching their poetic experience with various images and visions through those smoldering emotions that were in constant conflict with the poet’s self and the manifestations of social dissolution and disintegration that had begun. Its features appear and portend dire consequences, which is what makes these poetic blogs a picture of the Algerian reality at this stage.
