Abstract: This study aims to shed light on the image of Jerusalem in the poetic scene of Sameeh Al-Qasem through his communication with the religious, historical, literary, mythical and folk heritage. This communication was in itself a resistance to highlight the identity and emphasize the personality. This indicates the great presence of Jerusalem in Sameeh Al-Qasem’s poetry who included it in many of his poetry collections. Whenever ancient or modern history are mentioned Jerusalem comes to the scene, and whenever the poet mentions the Holy Quran, the Torah or the Hadith, Jerusalem is emphasized. Likewise, whenever myth and folk heritage comes under the light, Jerusalem is also mentioned in a strong manner. In such a manner, Sameeh Al-Qasem expressed his spiritual, historical and realistic relationship with Jerusalem and reshaped it according to new horizons that took the form of perfect and human images; he went beyond the geographical space of places and gave them a much spiritual and emotional sense that is full of movement and life.
