Abstract

After occupation of Palestine by Zionists in 1948, some of Palestinians became refugees to adjacent Arabic countries and some of other people were inhabited inside the occupied land, particularly in West Bank (of Jordan River) and Gaza Strip. Thence, Palestinians never saw political tranquility, stability, and equilibrium. Consequently, contemporary poetry was also affected by such chaotic circumstances. Vagrancy, exile, murder, pillage, confiscation of properties and lands, destruction and ruining and other political adverse events in this country caused Palestinian female poets to witness pain, passion and endless grief of their compatriots after “occupation” and to portrait incessantly their pains in their works. As a result, their verse was full of honest feelings and emotions and established infrangible link with mass of people; it inspired campaign- and freedom- seeking spirit for homeland into the body of sacrificed devotees and made their steps stronger in furtherance of the goals of Palestine National Movement.
