The research deals with city image in the divan of the poet Abdul-Aziz Al-mukaleh.
It searches for the objective dimensions of the image and shows its importance and variety
devoting itself for the image in a way related to general native, national
and human issues.
It also deals with the aesthetic dimensions of the city image, and investigates its
language, music and how it can get benefit of the heritage in a multi-dimensional way.
The research has tried to define the features of the city image at Al-mukaleh, which
are related tightly to Yemen and its history, and that has made the city image
– at Al-mukaleh – more distinguished than that of other Arab poets, like Al-Bayani,
Abdul-Sabour, Hijazi and others.
The researcher has also referred to the poet’s success in conveying his message to the
reader, and what helped him to do that was a clear linguistic form, which we can say about
it: “ easy but rather impossible “. And an honesty of an intellectual attitude which is equal
to the saying: “what comes from the heart pours in it “.
