Abstract
The Iraq War started in 2003 and ended in 2011. The Iraqi battlefield raised the consciousness of Iraqi poets, especially the exiled, who reported the war in their poetic narratives. Translating these poems into English facilitated the promotion of the poets’ ideology among a larger audience. In this respect, this study adopts a corpus-assisted critical stylistic approach to investigate the similarities and differences in the ideological positioning of the English translation of Dunya Mikhail’s poem,
