Language, Thought, and the Poetic Mind: An Interpretive Study of Abdullah Hammadi’s “I Speak About Passion” (Antiq ‘an al-Hawā)

Abstract

This research focuses on Abdullah Hammadi’s “I Speak About Passion” (Antiq ‘an al-Hawā), analyzing it from the perspective of poetic thought and the poetic mind. This research reveals that the poetry of Hammadi is characterized by a complex relationship between cognition, imagination, and existential reflection. By employing an interpretive method, this research reveals how silence and speech, concealment and revelation, and human and divine love are interrelated in order to create meanings that go beyond the boundaries of ordinary understanding. This research emphasizes that poetic thinking is not only an aesthetic procedure but also a complex cognitive and spiritual procedure. By Hammadi’s use of mystical imagery, philosophical reflection, and poetic expression, there is a possibility to grasp the importance of poetry in the investigation of existence and consciousness.
