"Trying to define or assign Hatif's poetry to any category (which I didn't succeed in anyway, but that's a peculiarity of the literary scholar), I remembered the well-known opinion of Julian Przyboś that "poetry is the unity of vision condensed into a maximum of pictorial allusions and a minimum of words." Although, of course, it is absurd to include Janabi in the avant-garde movement, this definition seemed extremely appropriate to the work that is the subject of these considerations. Hatif's poetry is primarily a vision, not to say sometimes visionary, which is particularly evident in The Royal Tract (At-Tarik al-Ma-laki [...]). And I dare not classify his work into any of the currents known from textbooks. This may be precisely because he remains between Polishness and Arabness.
