A Critical Analysis of Artistic Language and Humanistic Culture in the Thai Free Verse ‘No Women in Poems’

The current study aims to discuss the poetic-ness of the free verse manner in the poetry ‘No Women in Poems’ through an innovative concept of artistic-linguistic discursiveness. The theoretical approach to studying the poetic-ness of free verse is employed by the idea of Fairclough’s three CDA dimensions of examining hidden worldviews in texts. The findings are divided into, first, ‘No Women in Poems’ composed of the free verse form as a whole reflecting several free flows of thought and pointing out the quality of poetic-ness. Marvelously, the book of entire free verse enclosed plenty of artistic applications. Not only is creative in the free verse story but it is also communicative in terms of life, philosophy and truth. Second, ‘No Women in Poems’ holds the form of free verse which is associated with a life way in each area experienced by the poet. The last outreach of poetic-ness of the poetry ‘No Women in Poems’ supported by the components of correlation, comprehension, and context deserves universal attention to both local and global readers. It adequately makes humanistic culture reasonably diverse, particularly in Thai society or the homeland. The discussion of the integrated approach assists in explaining humans, minds, practices, and language use through poetic writing. The application can be a vision of ‘close reading’ skills.   HighlightBased on my provided text, here are the highlights that capture the novel results and methods of this research, designed to immediately show an online reader why this content is compelling: The study pioneers an innovative, integrated method called “artistic-linguistic discursiveness”, which combines a new three-part model of “poetic-ness” (correlation, comprehension, context) with Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to dissect free verse poetry. This introduces a novel analytical framework. The article reveals the hidden cultural power of award-winning free verse. The analysis uncovers how Zakariya Amataya’s commencement, fully free-verse collection ‘No Women in Poems’ uses its form to embed critical discourses on life, philosophy, and human dignity, challenging traditional Thai poetic norms and societal values. The paper’s process demonstrates poetry as a tool for social and existential critique. Through close readings, the research exposes how the poems employ artistic language (personification, allusion, parallelism) to articulate powerful, hidden commentaries on local development, cultural globalization, the cost of knowledge, and existential marginalization. It proposes a new model for close reading skills. The integrated artistic-linguistic and CDA approach is presented as a practical, transferable model for deeply interpreting poetic texts, moving beyond traditional literary analysis to uncover layers of socio-cultural and philosophical meaning.
