Alienation according to the poet Ibrahim Al-Usta Omar

Abstract

The poet Ibrahim Al-Usta Omar complains of the estrangement that made him sad and tense, when he was not convinced of what was happening around him. His estrangement came from inside the country and not from outside it. That is, he felt estranged while he was in Libya because his freedom was stifled, and so he was talking to the bird that disappeared behind him. He gave him the greatest collection of poems, as he shows his isolation from people when his heart was filled with sorrows. He expressed his alienation in various ways, through symbolism and reincarnation, or through directness and clarity. He was oppressed by his loneliness and his unique life among his family and loved ones. Since he is full of romanticism, he chooses to stand behind the beautiful things behind the birds, so he names his collection (The Nightingale and the Walker) and takes it as a way to record the journey of exile.
