This study examines war poems that respond to the American invasion of Iraq. These poems, which represent an important reaction of the intellectual oppositions rising with the invasion of Iraq, differ in form and content from traditional war poems dominated by Western male soldier poets. Written intensely between 2003 and 2006, these poems represent an innovative voice in war literature that have made a change in canonical war poetry with unique experimental style. In the poems that will be examined in this study, themes such as American politics, American democratic perception, front-line impressions, Iraqi culture and society in occupation will be discussed along with the points separated from the previous war tradition.

Bu çalışma Amerika’nın Irak işgaline karşı tepki gösteren savaş şiirlerini incelemektedir. Irak işgaliyle birlikte yükselen entelektüel karşıt tepkilerin önemli bir damarını temsil eden bu şiirler, Batılı erkek ve asker şairlerin egemen olduğu geleneksel savaş şiirlerinden biçim ve içerik olarak farklılık arz etmektedir. Yoğun olarak 2003-2006 yılları arasında yazıldığı gözlemlenen bu şiirlerin, kanonik savaş edebiyatı içerisinde yenilikçi bir sesi temsil ettiği, daha yüksek bir perdeden söylenecek olursa, cesur ve deneysel biçimleriyle, kanonik şiiri değişime uğrattığı da söylenebilir. Çalışmamızda incelenecek şiirlerde, önceki savaş şiirlerinden ayrılan noktalarla birlikte, Amerikan politikası, Amerikan demokratik algısı, cephe izlenimleri, işgal durumundaki Irak kültürü ve toplumu gibi temalar ele alınacaktır
