Abstract

Human has a special position in contemporary Arab poetry. This attention and tendency to human in the poetry of al-Haidari, a contemporary Iraqi poet, is more outstanding, as it can be said that writing of man and humanism is one of the characteristics of his poetry. Al-Haidari can be considered as the first contemporary Iraqi poet to focus on human beings and also to focus on human as it has the pivotal role in the literature. Although he has practically devoted all of himself to poetry, he is distinguished from many contemporary poets regarding human concerns and the value of human dignity and centrality. The poet's attention to humans can be traced back to the school of humanism. Since attention to humans, his troubles and preoccupations have always been the main concerns of this great poet. In this essay, we tried to investigate the components of humanism in the poetry of the Iraqi poet using the descriptive-analytical method and then also to study the human image in his work. The findings of this research indicate that the long poem has been greatly affected by humanistic school, and human beings plainly have a significant position in his poem. In his poem, emphasis is placed on human liberty, discretion and rationalism, and humanism has been summed up in his poems in such themes as family, love, death, life, grief, loneliness and abandonment, oppression and injustice by cruel tyrants and emancipation from inefficacy (futility).
