Time in the pioneers’ poetry Poetics of narrative time in the pioneers’ poetry

Abstract

The research tries to investigate the poetics of time because of the current dispute in determining the poetics of time in poetry. It is a complex concept due to its connection with various fields and sides of life. Furthermore, it is a moral concept which has mental dimensions because it is related to the creative process. It is well known that every poet has his own concept concerning time because there are no fixed criteria to decide time poetics. Every time era has its own poetry and every environment has its own unique poetry. Furthermore, every poem differs for the single poet. However, poetics in poetry keeps its aspect as a relative concept based on the critical and literary visions. Some poets are familiar with this concept via its “physical” time origin, others from its psychological, pragmatic, and narrative structure.   Saying that, we tried to choose the title of the study carefully to be “Poetics of narrative time in the pioneers’ poetry”. Moreover, we tried to limit the study to the pioneers of modern poetry because they are from one generation and they share many points in their concepts of poetry and its novelty frames. Every generation has its own time scope characterized by religious, social, cultural, and political relations; which is why we selected the pioneers’ poetry because it limits the frame of this study.Then, we specified the effective way in investigating the topic by a descriptive interpretive analytical approach based on comparisons. This approach recognizes the development of poetry and its narrative structural meaning in the poem. It aims at discovering the time transformations and the scenes movement accompanied.
