The critical position on modern poetic forms ,Scattered and sent poetry – free poetry and prose poem as a model

Abstract

Modern poetic forms, which began to emerge in the early 20th century, represent one of the most innovative movements that deviated from the traditional Arabic poetry structure. These forms sparked significant controversy and critical debate among those who rejected poetic modernity and the renewal of musical and formal elements in vertical poetry. To provide a concise overview of this topic, the research is divided into three sections. The first section discusses the stance toward transmitted, recited, and theatrical poetry. The second section explores the perspective on free verse poetry (al-taf'ila). Finally, the third section is dedicated to the position on prose poetry. Hopefully, I have succeeded in presenting and analyzing the material, highlighting the stance on poetic modernity based on breaking away from conventions.
