Mustafa Wahbi at-Tall, better known in his homeland as Arar, lawyer, teacher, political agitator and, above all poet, is now celebrated as a pioneer of Jordanian patriotism and spokesman for his nation's ideals and aspirations. Rebellious patriotism in Arar's poetry is inextricably tied to his addiction to wine and his never-ending Don Juanism. As a drunkard and lover, obsessed by the nostalgia for places that had once quenched his thirst for wine and love, Arar created a quite new type of metaphors and terms of reference to the beloved and to her place in the poet's dream-world. Place-related identity terms referring to the poet's beloved or her close surroundings are the subject of the following account.
