Abstract

This article attempts to comprehend the innovations of Yakut poets in the creation of small-form genres in modern Yakut poetry, namely forms borrowed from the Eastern poetry, to be more exact, the poetry created by Anna Parnikova-Sabaray-Ilge as a case-study. The tendency of the poetess in her poetic stylization of the Eastern genres is to enrich the modern genre systematizing the examples from the treasury of world literature. As early as the 1960s and 1970s, Yakut poets sought to master oriental forms. However, in their poems they did not strictly follow the requirements of certain oriental forms. Only in the early 2000s young poet A. Parnikova managed to keep to the special requirements of the hard forms, namely the eastern ghazals. Although the author managed to nationalize the imagery, for example, the author used lilies instead of tulips, we consider her poem a model of oriental forms in the Yakut style.
