Forms of Expressing Denotations of Self- Disunity and Absence inMahmoud Darwish's poetry

In the poetry of Mahmoud Darwish, self-disunity and absence acquired deeper and wider horizons because they represent part of his real life. This study discusses the denotations of self-disunity and absence starting from his first Diwan “Olive Leaves” published in 1964 and ending with his last Diwan “the Butterfly Effect” published in 2008. Darwish expressed his self-disunity and absence in several forms. We focus in this study on six, and they are: Deletion, fragmentation, shifting, the frequent negating, combining antonyms, and words substitution.
