Abstract
This paper aims to explore the unorthodox depictions of native imagery in the selected poems of Kaiser Haq. By employing the literary device of defamiliarization, Haq introduces unconventional representations of indigenous themes, challenging traditional perspectives and inviting readers to reconsider their preconceived notions. Through a detailed analysis of Haq’s selected poems, this study highlights the significance of Viktor Shklovsky’s concept of defamiliarization in revealing alternative dimensions of native imagery. By examining the ways in which Haq’s poetry subverts expectations and unveils unfamiliar aspects, readers gain a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between language, culture, and representation. Ultimately, this research contributes to a broader appreciation of the power of poetic language in reshaping and reimagining indigenous imagery.
