Abstract





The study sought to show the image of the mother in the poetry of the pioneers, and the poetic texts contained in their poems that embodied that image, especially after these pioneers experienced injustice, displacement and loss, which led to their urgent need for the mother in her realistic image that was later depicted in their texts, because that is actually impossible, The absent / present mother embodied in the duality of death / life, and in the dualism of the ego / the other, and the tender / strong mother, the giver in exchange for another image of her embodied in her weakness and brokenness, which is what we are keen to provide her visions in the texts available to us
