ارتحال قصيدة النثر إلى النقد العربي المعاصر

Abstract

This study addresses "the prose poem" as one of the issues in modern poetry that Arab critics have disagreed on in several aspects, the most important of which are: the origin and the issue of naming, critical opinions on the prose poem, and the extent to which the Arab taste accepts this new literary genre.

The study aims to monitor these multiple aspects while presenting viewpoints that may have critical significance. It follows the descriptive approach due to its ability to explore critical views according to a scientific method that allows examining these views and determining their value in modern Arab criticism.

The study concluded with a set of results, the most important of which are the following: Susan Bernard's criteria can no longer impose their control over the Arabic text; therefore, it is necessary to reformulate these criteria to align with the Arabic text. The low readability of the prose poem is a result of criticism that did not establish a consensus, and due to the extensive conflict that has become illogical regarding the issue.
Keywords: prose poem, naming, gratuity, Susan Bernard, Nazik Al-Malaika.
