ÇAĞDAŞ AMERİKAN ŞİİRİNDE IRAK SAVAŞI
IRAQ WAR IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN POETRY

Summary/Abstract: This study examines war poems that respond to the American invasion of Iraq. These poems, which represent an important reaction of the intellectual oppositions rising with the invasion of Iraq, differ in form and content from traditional war poems dominated by Western male soldier poets. Written intensely between 2003 and 2006, these poems represent an innovative voice in war literature that have made a change in canonical war poetry with unique experimental style. In the poems that will be examined in this study, themes such as American politics, American democratic perception, front-line impressions, Iraqi culture and society in occupation will be discussed along with the points separated from the previous war tradition.
