This thesis aims to explore the stranger in modern Arabic poetry. It examines and explicates selected texts by three of the most prominent modern Arab poets: Qassim Haddad (b. 1948-), Wadi‘ Sa‘adeh (b. 1948- ), and Mahmoud Darwish (1941-2008). The selected poems deal with duality, marginality, and-or the transcendental self which has no fixed abode and reflects a rhizomatic way of thinking. It transcends the ‘here’ and ‘now’ and longs for obtaining what it lacks. This unfulfilled longing acts as its underlying drive to manipulate the ‘margin’ through modifying its negative connotations, such as despair, hopelessness, and deprivation and making it the ‘center’ or mainstream. With this in mind, I will trace the state of the art of the notions of emigration, self-estrangement and alienation in modern Arabic poetry and take Muhammad al-Maghut as an example, before delving deep into selected texts by Haddad, Sa‘adeh, and Darwish.
