Abstract
An influential poet, Anthony Thwaite (1930---) has been acclaimed as an excellent poet, even an original one. His poems call us to look beyond, always to something higher, deeper, better, something beyond the self. He devoted his works to exploring the spirit of his age in many different areas through personal, social, political and literary perspectives. In his poetry, Thwaite is concerned with archeology and history to the extent that he uses the past to present the present. Based onthe postcolonial theory, this study aims at examining the different types of images of the other as depicted by Thwaite in some of his poetry in The Stones of Emptiness: Poems 1963-66, Inscriptions: Poems 1967-1972, Letter from Tokyo (1987) and The Dust of the World (1994). The study critically analyses extracts to expose how he depicts and looks at the Arabs (specifically the Libyan men and women) and how he knows and accepts the Arabic culture and tradition. The method followed throughout the study depends on a close textual reading of some of his poems that depict his experiences abroad, especially in the Arab world
