Poets could enrich their works of art in various ways. These tools and techniques such as simile, metaphor, symbol, myth and etc. could boost their works to the highest level. One of these methods is intertextuality in which the poet enters other texts and contexts to strengthen his poetry. Abd al-Wahhab al-Bayati is one the contemporary Iraqi poets who has chosen intertextuality as a key technique in his works in order to express his intend more understandable and beautifully. He applied Quran as well as Bible in his poetries. Religious intertextuality owns various political – social applications in his works; sometimes a technique to express the social problems, and sometimes to criticize the politicians. The present paper attempts to study religious intertextuality (Quran and Bible) in Abd al-Wahhab al-Bayati's poetries in descriptive – analytical method.
