Moreover, Jawdat Haydar is a humanitarian poet that resists categorization, encourages the interaction between people and civilizations, and emphasizes human rights, humanity, love and nature. Jawdat R. Haydar who was a modern Arab poet embodied the concept of "Iltizam" in his poetic compositions; however, when his book "Voices" came out, Haydar was associated with the Al-Mahjar poets not only because of his use of the English language but also because of the themes he tackled: nostalgia for the motherland and the past, and the love of nature, among others. This paper shows that through his poems, he articulates his bitterness and seems to look for his identity that is a bridge between East and West.
