DEDICATORY POEMS IN KARAKALPAK LYRICS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF KENGESBAY RAKHMANOV’S WORK)

Abstract:

This article discusses dedication poems in Karakalpak literature and their significance in the work of poets, especially in the work of the poet Kengesbay Rakhmanov, using examples. Although the genre of dedication has not been studied in a special way in our literature, it has a significant place in our literature. The poet Kengesbay Rakhmanov wrote many poems in this genre, and we can witness that most of them are written in the form of quatrains, and some in the form of quintuplets. In the process of studying the dedications, we tried to separate them into several groups, taking into account that they were written on different topics in content, and we witnessed that the individual style of the poet was clearly visible in them. Also, the author’s unique style of creating the character of the lyrical hero in the dedications once again proved that the content of the poem is close to lament, ode, and even humorous.
