This book provides an introduction to understanding poetic text in an attempt to find the path leading to it. The author examines the structures of presence and absence in one of Sami Mahdi's poems, "The Elevator," and also explores the dualities of darkness and emptiness as a poetic space, the treatment of the 'other,' and the manifestations of the journey and the absurd image.
