Abstract
Every creative experience carries in its structure a critical vision of its owner .There are two methods for analyzing the Critical Vision of the poet. The first is examining form and content in order to reach the concept of the poetry, its traits and the issues which - it expresses along with its reciption within the general poetic movement to - which the poet belongs ,whether s/he declared it or not. As for the second level, it is by understanding these poems in which the poet adopts a declared and manifested position vis-à-vis the poetic {process}. In cases, the works of the poet and his collections of poems are an embodiment of his vision and an expression of a poetic attitude which has critical and ideological dimensions. These ideological and critical views do not belong to the poet alone, because every poet in his experience is a part of a - poetic movement which had fed on the poems of the preceding poets. Namely, no poem is created out of vacuum; rather, it had grown in a creative environment which made it a voice in harmony with the general poetic discourse.
Accordingly, this research examines Aqel’s collections of poems as a means of understanding his critical vision and the poetic attitude and ideological discourse which have been adopted by many Palestinian poets from the - second half of the twentieth century until the beginning of the first half of the twenty-first century. The research premise views Aqel as a model which expresses - the critical ideological discourse which is prominent in the poetic movement mentioned {above}, considering the fact that, throughout the history of the Arabic and critical movements, poets who are also critics are very common.
