Abstract
Dialogue is regarded as an important literary technique, particularly in literary genres inclined toward prose. With the expansion of literature and the deepening of critical perspectives, the blending of genres has become a prominent phenomenon, through which dialogue has increasingly emerged as a technique in modern poetry. Talaat Tahir, as a pioneering voice in contemporary Kurdish poetry, has prominently employed this technique in the construction of his poetic texts. This study explores the poet’s capacity to use dialogue as a technical tool in his works and aims to establish the foundations of dialogic poetics. Unlike many previous studies on dialogue in modern Kurdish poetry, which focused largely on the technique within narrative frameworks, this research adopts a different approach by examining dialogue through the lens of poetics. The central question is whether dialogue adds a new dimension to the poetic texture of the text. To achieve its objectives, the study applies a descriptive-analytical method. It is structured into two chapters: the first addresses dialogue and poetics from a theoretical perspective, while the second provides an analytical application of dialogic poetics in Talaat Tahir’s works. One of the most important findings of the study is that Talaat Tahir effectively employs dialogue to enrich the poetic construction of his texts, elevating their aesthetic quality and enhancing their poetic presence.
