Notes	This book includes a group of articles, the focus of which is the meaning of the poetic text. While some of them were concerned with issues of reading, other articles took the approach to texts as their subject matter. The writer chose to research the topic of the relationship between the poet and the reader, which is determined by the process of understanding the poetic text. Does the same intended meaning that the poet wanted and that formed the background of his text reach the reader? Or does interpreting the meaning in a different way always become permissible once the poetic text appears? What is the nature of texts that have more than one meaning, or that contain ambiguity that allows multiple interpretations of their meaning? Is there any real importance to this question? What is the reality of achieving interaction between the two sides of the reading process? To answer these questions, the literary researcher chose to study some poetic texts by a number of poets, placing them in five chapters. The first chapter includes a study of the subject of the text and the problem of meaning between the poet and the reader. It examines the quality of the text and the poet’s ability to convey its poetic meaning. It also examines the factors that affect the interpretation process carried out by the reader and which are subject to the nature of the reader himself. Thus, a single poetic text becomes susceptible to multiple readings, each of which may give the text a different meaning from that given to it by another reading. Thus, we have before us several meanings for one text. To approach this problem, he chose a group of poetic models by the poet Ghazi. Al-Gosaibi. In the second chapter, he takes the pre-Islamic poem, which was characterized in quite a few of its texts by a multiplicity of themes, as another example of the multiplicity of readings of the poetic text, and reads in light of that the poem “The Potty of the Abdi Drill.” Another reading that the reader will find in the third chapter, “Departure from the Circle of Distance,” concerns a poem by Al-Buhturi that begins with this line: “Peace be upon you. There is no loyalty or covenant, but for you is the abandonment of your loved ones.” The researcher himself chose it, to research the meanings of the narrative passage it contains about the poet’s struggle and his dealings with the wolf animal. In the fourth chapter, “Towards Meaning,” another reading of the poem “The Mountain” by Ibn Khafajah Al-Andalusi attempts to provide a new understanding of the text, by linking its beginning and its conclusion. As for “Vision and Interpretation” in the fifth chapter, it is read in a poem by Ghazi Al-Gosaibi, the beginning of which is: “I saw that I was a palm tree with dates growing from its shoulders, and birds eating from its dates, so I was overcome with love.” Aesthetics and pleasure that the reader gets in this exciting literary search for the meanings hidden behind the verses of poetic texts that touch feelings and senses and that rise above superficial and daily life. Bibliography: p. 131-135
