Poetic Language in Muhammad Hassan Alwan’s Novels

Abstract

     The interaction of the novel with poetry came to the novel's endeavor to mix between the objective (the direction of the novel) and the subjective (the direction of poetry).

     The main point that combines the novel with poetry is the poetic language, where poetry is present in the narrative text through displacement, paradox and image, and this is what constitutes the face of the narrative at (Muhammad Hassan Alwan), where narrative situations intensify the poetic language within the novel, and the event is generated by this Enchanting language. The nature of the narrative language is closer to the language of poetry with metaphorical condensed features.                                                                              

      The contemporary novel is in a constant pursuit in the field of the development of its language to the level of poetic (metaphorical) language to be used in a section of its prose text, and what explains the interference (poetic narrative). The writer (Muhammad Hassan Alwan) has shifted from the field of poetry writing to the space of fiction writing, to find that poetry is the most prominent feature of the narrator's text.                                                                                     

        Poetic language is not a monopoly of the art of poetry only, but it is a basic feature that is included in the aesthetic formation of the fiction.
