FERHAT ILYAS AND GU？GA POETRY

Having a long history, the Modern Uighur Literature had a very active period at the beginnings of the 20th century. Renovation movements and political events of the era had an important role in the formation of literature. These alterations stood out in poetry continuing its existence under the influence of the classical literature until the beginnings of the century. During 1980s, a new poetic style named as “Yé？i？e poetry” or “Gu？ga poetry” was started to be seen in the Modern Uighur poetry. The Yé？i？e poetry movement spreading among young poets led to various discussions. At the beginning, such kind of poems were named as “Tutuq poem”, “Tépi？maqliq poem”, “Gu？ga poem”, and “Symbolist poem”. “However, “Gu？ga poem” was used more frequently. This understanding of poetry based on ambiguity has differentiated the word framework of the poems. Grammatical changes are also seen in “Gu？ga” poems. According to the poets writing “Gu？ga poem”, poetry is an art of language. For this reason, making changes freely is among the requirements of poetry. As generally considered, the “Gu？ga Poem” shows similarities with symbolic and surrealistic poems. Beginning with Ahmetcan Osman, this poetry movement is carried on with Ferhat Ilyas and Vahitcan Osman
