This study, entitled (The Image of Death in the Poetry of Raad Abdul Qader), attempts to examine the images of death that appeared in the poetry of the late poet. The image of death was linked to three main axes: the image of death viewed from a mythological point of view, as the ancient Iraqi myth often supported the theme of death and its representations with many expressive images and symbols; the image of death viewed from an existential point of view, as the image of death often approaches absurd and unreasonable concepts from the point of view of existential thought and literature; and finally, the image of death can be viewed through the representations that enriched this image and provided it with endless tributaries.
