Abstract

Darvish who had spent his knowledge of the literary scene in the pursuit of a unique identity of the Palestinian people, crowned ın his poetry the effort of being a people with his art. Darwish never adopted the concept of identity as a membership based on shallow nationalism or religious identity. On the contrary, he evaluated in a framework based on Palestinian geography. In this context, Palestine is not only a country land but also a spirit. So the main belonging is hidden in this soul. The fact of the occupation of Israel since 1948 and labeling as a refugee in his native land, he has established the basis of his understanding of poetry from the beginning of poetry to the end of his life. Darwish, perceived as sharing righteousness and respecting sacred values, always showed the same kind of feelings with the Palestinian people.
