Reflection of Elements of Resistance in the Poetry of Adnan Alsaeq

Literature of resistance is the sign of conscious conscience against violence of enemies and restoring human rights and also a collective reaction against domination of oppression that may be imposed from inside or outside. As a country in which policies of terror, oppression and war by the «Baath regime», attacks of America, and imposing global sanctions observed during recent few decades, Iraq has been a proper context for rise of resistance literature and warrior and exiled poets. «Adnan Al-Saeq» (born1955), contemporary Iraqi poet, is one of these poets whose poetic concepts are an outcry against the oppression of «Baath regime» and American occupation and abuses of world superpowers and a cry for union with mass movements and defense of the oppressed Palestinian people. Adnan uses different techniques in expressing his purposes including calling religious-historical events, applying masks of some historical figures, fictional odes, conversation elements, satire, burlesques, and symbolism.
