        abstract = {This paper explores the significance of silence in contemporary poetry and its role as a powerful poetic device. While poetry is often associated with the use of words, silence can be equally expressive and meaningful in shaping the reader's experience. Through an analysis of selected poems, this paper examines how contemporary poets employ silence as a literary tool to evoke emotions, convey meaning, and create space for contemplation. It also investigates the cultural and philosophical implications of silence in poetry, highlighting its capacity to challenge traditional modes of communication and invite readers to engage in a deeper exploration of language and existence.},
