Abstract
The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the poetic work of the Adyghe (Circassian) poet and writer Uvzhuk Askerbievich Tkhagapsov (born in 1961). The relevance and novelty of the study are confirmed by the absence of scientific works on the stated topic in national literary criticism. The material for the study is the poetic works included in the author's collections "The Cradle of Peace" (2001), "Children of God" (2007), "The Earth Spins" (2023) – poems, short poems, satirical and humorous poems, sonnets, poems, fables, ballads, fairy tales. The main motives and value orientations are revealed, the varieties of the poet's lyrics are highlighted – philosophical, patriotic, civic (socio-political, socio-economic motives), love, landscape lyrics. The genre paradigm and poetics of U. Tkhagapsov's works are considered, the correspondence/non-correspondence of some works to the author's definition of the genre is established. Sonnets, plot (fabular) poems, and the poem "Hunting Stories" are highlighted. The obtained results can be used in the educational and research process.
