The Poetic Image and Its Realistic Manifestations in Contemporary Nigerian Arab Poetry "Divan Shawq Ali Talal as a Model" by the Poet Ahmed Al-Tijani Thani Saad

Abstract

The research will attempt to uncover the literary trends and their applications, especially in Nigeria, and the most influential literary research methodologies among them, by delving into the literary heritage they left for us to analyze and explain. We aim to identify its prominent features and define its distinct characteristics, as literature is a vast ocean and research and authorship within it encompass various aspects and directions, with diverse forms and colors, particularly if we venture beyond its narrow definition confined to "prose and poetry" and explore its broader cultural meaning, which has spread among ancient civilizations. This entails drawing from every art form, making most of what the Arabic library contains, including poetry, speeches, letters, philosophy, history, criticism, stories, and other sciences and arts, all of which are intrinsic to literature and fall under its domain.
 By doing so, we can gain a clear understanding of the stages that Nigerian literary research has undergone, as well as the movement of writing and literary authorship among Africans, particularly in Nigeria, both in the past and present. This reveals the significant role played by its speakers in the field of scientific research and literary studies throughout its extended journey. May God grant us success and guide us on the right path.
