Comparison of Homelessness among Mahjar Poets (Case Study: Palestinian and Lebanese Mahjar Poets)

The feeling of alienation has been one of the most important poetic themes among poets from the past to the present. One of the main reasons for the feeling of alienation among poets is migration to other lands. Some Palestinian and Lebanese poets also emigrated from their homeland for many reasons and settled in other countries, so alienation is one of the main themes of their poetry. Since the motives for migration are different among Palestinian and Lebanese poets, their views on Mahjar also differ. In this article, which is written based on an analytical-descriptive method; we have compared the feeling of alienation among Palestinian and Lebanese poets in Mahjar. The results of the research show that Lebanese poets face a kind of so-called linguistic alienation due to living in non-Arabic speaking countries, but this type of alienation is not seen among Palestinian poets because they live mainly in Arab countries, especially Lebanon, Syria and Jordan. Moreover, the desire for the homeland is also different for Palestinian and Lebanese poets in Mahjar, and in addition to the desire for the homeland, Palestinian poets also speak of occupation and displacement.
