A Study of Preferential Simile in the Poetry of Emad Faqih

This essay is an attempt to describe preferential simile in the poetry of Emad Faqih. First it is tried to show the important role the study of simile plays in literary criticism. Secondly, concentrating on how old similes come to be used as new, the writer describes preferential simile as the most important type of this reconstruction process. Moreover, preferential similes of Emad are compared with the preferential similes of three other poets of the Khorasani style. It is argued that his preferential similes fit in with his mystic viewpoint. Furthermore, preferential similes in lines ending in "t" are dealt with in the essay. It is concluded that the extensive use of preferential simile by Emad as a poet of Iraqi style is a characteristic feature in his poetry in general.
