Metadiscourse Identification between Mystic Poetry and Prose Poetry

Abstract

This paper addresses an important poetic issue in light of the flourishing of prose poetry, which was accompanied by doubt since its emergence with the magazine (Poetry). What concerns us in this paper is to demonstrate the extent of the conscious and subconscious identification of the prose poetry with the mystic poetry, as it is one of the important literary references upon which the writer relies. The paper is put in two parts: (1) the identification in terms of establishing the concept of artistic independence and (2) the new artistic vision or artistic renewal. Among the most important results reached by the paper is that the prose poetry identifies with mystic poetry in that they both search for an independent interpretation of the text away from general literary references, and that condensation, ambiguity and strangeness are all artistic techniques in which prose poetry and mystic poetry identifies, except that their objectives are clear in the mystic text, while prose poetry may exceed the limit of endless ambiguity.
