Visual Photography in Safaa Thiab's Poetry, (White Snow With a Black Braid), as a Model

Abstract

The poet's collection (White Snow With a Black Braid)shows self unity  in a world full of fragility, emptiness and loss of communication. The poet used visual or audio photography to show this scene in life, so he focused on the elements of the image and the core of its composition via activating light and shadow and the penetration of white  to the black space in life. The poet chose the black and white colors as a visual space in which events take place  in time and place. Visual  photography means the use of photography technology in poetry and how the poet's eye was the first lens that shot the surrounding objects with a photograph formed by words, depending on the techniques of photography and metaphor-based language , including the common image that depends highly on analogy .The techniques of photography in the text  include the choice of photography, speed, images, shadow and colors in the shot .In poetry, photography  is associated with  the pictorial poetic language in the presentation.
