Abstract

Most of his poetry relates to the change of life before and after the Nakba, the Palestinian and broader Arab struggle to free their lands from foreign influence, Arab nationalism, and various Arab tragedies. The narrating individual “I” in the poet’s verses, and the universal or plural “I” is a constancy that permeats al-Qasim’s lyrics. Besides the fastened belt strongly ties up his Palestinian soul to its soil. Though the pan-Arab ideology of Nasserism impressed him during the nationalist post-1948, the Nakba era, the Six-Day War results disappointed him so much that he abandoned his faith in such ideology.
