TURKISH POETRY AND RAUF PARFI

Аннотация

The sensitive poet of Uzbek literature, Rauf Parfi, is considered a significant phenomenon both in terms of form and content in his time. The new poetic genres introduced by Rauf Parfi in Uzbek literature from the 1960s to the 1980s have distinctive features. Possessing profound literary potential, the poet reveals his uniqueness by artistically synthesizing Eastern and Western literary traditions. The entry of Turkish poetry into 20th- century Uzbek literature is associated with Rauf Parfi. He was awarded the Mahmud Kashgari literary prize in Turkey. Parfi established strong ties with contemporary Turkish poets and translated their works. He transleted Nazım Hikmet’s epic “Mamlakatimdan inson manzaralari” and poems by poets like Behçet Necatigil and Orhan Veli to Uzbek readers. He also acknowledged Tevfik Fikret, a leading poet of the Servet-i Fünun period in Turkey, as his mentor and noted that he enjoyed reading his works. These literary translations contributed to strengthening cultural ties and expanding ideological influence. This article discusses such literary interactions.
