This book traces that identity which appears in various poetic discourses, and silently transforms according to its surrounding circumstances, attempting to shed some light on the minor identities that are shaded by the larger identity of the homeland, which differ from poet to poet, as the book also observes. It studies the role of imagination and its impact on shaping identity, by examining the nomadic lifestyle as a prominent identity among a large number of young poets.

As a result, the poet is forced to fill the holes in memory with much imagination...
