Abstract

Employing the storytelling method within the contemporary poetic text has a high value in expressing the poet's anguish. What is meant by story in poetry is the lyricist's use of narrative techniques in his poetry. These methods direct his poetry towards storytelling and storytelling. This is what the poet Fadwa Touqan relied on in her poems, as she made the poem a dramatic expressive means that depicted the forms of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The current research aimed to uncover the narrative mechanisms that the poet employed in the poem “Hamza”, its artistic and intellectual connotations and the extent of her success in this field, as well as her literary stock. The method used was stylistic. The results indicate that Fadwa Touqan borrowed from poetry its pictorial language and harmonious rhythms, and from the story its dramatic elements. The events in her poetic story came in a consistent, sequential manner, and each event follows another. It is an honest expression of the Palestinian tragedy and its embodiment in a literary and artistic form. The poet's interest in content and ideas is more than in the artistic form, as the goal is to convey her message to the reader. The description of the place in her poem is not to highlight her literary artistic abilities, but rather to express ideas and the political and social situation. The characters came in the poem as an auxiliary technique to reveal its hidden aspects through the narrator. She assigned a function to each of them.
