Abstract
A crucial element in the creation of creative works, especially poetry, is time. Poetry encompasses the past, present, and future and is therefore inherently entwined with time. In poetry, time is more than just a chronological order; it is an artistic dimension that allows the poet to traverse historical levels and examine human mind.. Because of this interaction, poets are able to produce complex, multifaceted poetic experiences that appeal to readers' emotions as well as their intellect. The time dimension is a fundamental component of the "poetic space," or the world the poet depicts, which is made up of interrelated aspects. A poet creates a unique temporal landscape when writing a poem. They may project hopes and fears into the future, recollect old experiences, or totally absorb the details of the present. Poetry's richness, complexity, and life are derived from the interweaving of these temporal dimensions. This dissertation uses Gérard Genette's narrative theory as a framework to analyze the temporal space in Fadhil Ibrahim Al-Hamdani's poetry using a descriptive technique and content analysis. According to the study, Al-Hamdani's poetry exhibits a distinctive temporal structure that combines linear progression and interactive dynamics, combining internal time—which reflects the poet's self-awareness—with exterior time, which is connected to material reality, to create a cohesive temporal fabric. To create this chronological structure, the poet uses a variety of narrative approaches. Foreshadowing (anticipation) is used to express individual viewpoints and allude to potential futures, whereas flashbacks (retrospection) are used to record human experiences and conjure past events. While ellipses and summary are used to condense lengthy passages, descriptive pauses, scenic descriptions, and dialogues are used to slow down the story and elaborate on themes. This enables the poet to condense complicated ideas into succinct and powerful expressions.
