Elkhas Comard:
THE PAIN OF THE WORD, THE REPORT OF THE SOUL
(Publicistic-literary essay on Alisa Gamgin's poetry)
Sometimes a poem is not just an expression of the poet's feelings. It becomes a poetic form of the secret struggle caused by the questions that the poet asks himself during the reporting of the difficulties faced by the poet's life. This poetic form is later understood as an example of the life philosophy of not just one person, but of many people in society. It can be said that such situations or experiences happen to all our poets.
Alisa Qamgin, one of the poets with whom I tried to have a sincere relationship since the first day of our friendship on Facebook due to her excellent creativity, has always been on a different side for me. There are many special reasons for this. The first and most important of these is the diversity of his creativity and his great interest in public, political, social, sports and other fields. For this reason, my decision to write about him has not left me alone many times. Finally...
I went to teacher Alisa's page and had to choose a few of her poems to express my opinion on her work. After reading several of his poems, I decided one point for myself when choosing.
From the beginning, I can directly say that Alisa Gamgin's work takes the reader out of ordinary aesthetic taste and leads to deeper — spiritual and philosophical layers. The first thing that stands out in his poetry is the foregrounding of the idea of responsibility. My first choice was the poet's poem "OZ GUNAHINDI". In this poem, the poet opposes the tendency to attribute human fate to external forces. This is not only a religious-philosophical position, but also a practical fact of life. Because man is the author of his own life. More than the hands reaching to the sky, the vision directed to the inside of a person gains importance here. The poet seems to say;
don't look far for salvation, it is within you. This idea is the revival of classical Eastern wisdom in modern consciousness.
"Opening your hands to the heavens and asking for hope
Don't think, this is your last refuge.
Why don't you think, you poor thing
what?!
The spirit that awakened the heart was God."
The poet in this stanza criticizes that man is satisfied only with prayer. The main idea here is that one should not direct the responsibility only to the heavens. The verse "The spirit was God's" reminds us of the divine beginning within man — that is, the way out is within man himself. Because the fact that a person is not a passive observer of fate, but a participant is an indicator of the philosophical layer of the poem.
"Say black to black, make your face white
Let light shine on your life, jump and swim
Let it be known in the dark nights
Maybe it was the last one that opened."
