Abstract
This study deals with the problem of searching for salvation and death in the poem Badr Shaker Al-Sayyab, “Sifr Ayoub”, and standing by the aesthetic of artistic construction in saying the poet’s visions and his perceptions towards himself and towards existence. He was known for his inclination in his poetry towards the dualities of life and death; at times he became entangled at first despite his suffering, and he resisted the second with the images of life, her love and the possibilities of supplication and begging in search of ways to survive in harmony with his internal psychological defeats on the one hand, and with the ugliness of what is happening in Iraq in the political and social realities on the other hand, to date in his poem “The Book of Job” for the last period of his life, clinging to what he could through the ways of salvation, looking for the emancipation of himself from the torments of the body of the soul, within many contradictions that make him in his interior a certainty of destruction that is ready to kill him. Al-Sayyab relies on various artistic techniques in building his poem in line with the inherited one time, outside it and again, as a pioneer in the poetic modernity movement in the twentieth century. The study adopted an analytical textual approach to approach. It consisted of a preamble, a presentation based on sub-headings dealing with the contents and problematic of the poem, and the conclusion and a list of references and sources.
