| Abstract | ||
| This study explores some common themes in the poetry of both Isaac Rosenberg and Dunya Mikhail who are classified as poets of war. Both of them are distinguished poets who are able to explore precisely the emotional and physical cost of war and who are themselves regarded as eyewitnesses and members of its victims. This research paper adopts the descriptive and analytical approach in dealing with the subject. It offers the realistic images, outstanding visions and deep insights of the two poets into the inner self of humans with its different conditions during times of conflict, emphasizing the goodreception of their works locally and universally. It also examines how their works capture the personal and collective suffering of individuals caught during and in the after-effects of conflict. It elaborates how they reflect on the violence of Iraq war and World War I; and how their depiction of war is not just a political event but as a deeply pervasive force touching the lives of people. The study additionally discusses the particular consequences of war and the suffering of people. Therefore, the paper ends with the conclusion that war poetry of both poets mirror the intersection of personal history with larger historical and universal forces. | ||
