In order to study the literary product, we must first understand it as a person, because the relationship between the text and the emotional experience that it created is a permanent dialectical relationship. The few studies that were written on Mahmoud Sami Al-Baroudi were concerned. In terms of the technical aspect of his poetry and his leadership in resurrecting Arabic poetry without looking into the depths of himself to extract the emotional experiences that gave birth to his poetry. Historians have disagreed about the patriotism of Mahmoud Sami al-Baroudi, as he participated in the Arab revolution and exiled with its leaders to Ceylon. But he participated in the Arab revolution with a patriotic motive. From here I began my study of this unveiling of Al-Baroudi the human, and then moved on to an artistic study of Al-Baroudi literature (artistic tendency in Al-Baroudi's poetry), which represents the second part of the study. Due to the lack of space in the Journal of Literature Al-Rafidain, I postponed the publication of the second section to another opportunity. I do not consider this study to be final, but rather as a new attempt to study the psychology of the writer through his poetry, and I hope that I have succeeded in it, and if success is lost, it is not without benefit that future scholars can build on a more general and comprehensive study.
