Abstract
This study delves into the essential terms and concepts prevalent in contemporary Arabic poetics, as discussed in "Questions of Poetics: A Study in the Mechanism of Poetic Creativity" by Algerian scholar AbdallahLachi. Al-Ashi seeks to clarify various terminologies and notions pertaining to the multifaceted aspects of poetic creativity. This paper engages with the text to explore significant issues, both critical and creative, posited by Al-Ashi. These include the definition of poetry, the creative process and its phases, the nuances involved in constructing a poetic text, and its inherent functions, elements that are fundamental to understanding the poetic experience and the governing laws of creativity within modern Arabic poetry.
