Poetics of Free Verse in the Works of Stanislav Sadur

The paper examines the features of the poetics of free verse of the modern Chuvash poet Stanislav Sadur. The purpose of the study is to determine the specifics of S. Sadur’s free verse. The relevance of the work is caused by the desire to characterize the features of the development of modern Chuvash poetry. The results showed that S. Sadur’s free verse is distinguished by brevity of form, visualization, the presence of a verbal picture, elements of folklore, sound harmony, expression of philosophical meaning, and features of existentialism. The works are similar to an expanded metaphor, built on the type of comparison, figurative-aphoristic expression of meaning, listing or comparison of homogeneous images, experiences. Brevity and originality of form require concentration of thought, capacious expressive means. S. Sadur continues the traditions of free verse developed in Chuvash poetry in the second half of the twentieth century. We consider the poet’s creative searches as an expression of the author’s picture of the world, formed under the influence of Chuvash folklore, the traditions of Chuvash and world poetry, and life experience.
