Summary/Abstract: The analysis of the concepts “ours” and “alien” takes place within the framework of the study of the actual imagology. Contemporary British English poetry expresses the ideas through the following concepts: the struggle of the Irish for their independence, the need for empathy and assistance to emigrants, the need to respect and study not only English but also foreign poets, the idea of the presence of highly artistic poetry as a criterion for assessing the spiritual and cultural level of the country as a whole, the idea of the need to travel around the world to learn about their national identity and for spiritual and cultural enrichment, the idea of mixing languages, cultures, religions during the immigration of eastern nations to multicultural Great Britain, the idea of the beauty of the native language and others.
