- Abstract
Modern Arabic poetry is fraught with creative representation of major Arab cities specially the ancient ones. The present paper explores the representation of one of the most ancient Arab cities, Sana'a, by the well-known Yemeni poet Abdullah Al-Baradduni. It expounds how this poet represents Sana'a city as a lady with female qualities and characteristics. Most poems of Al-Baradduni about Sana'a portray it as a woman from different angles and perspectives that reflect the poet's attachment to this city and his attitudes towards the social and political events and changes that took place in Sana'a. This representation also reveals Al- Baradduni's poetic style as realized in his ample use of symbolism and irony.
