with the author’s vision and conception of the
world. In other words, the be er the vision of the
poet, the more likable his poems.
In the example above, Gara Melik is an
everyday hero taking a stance against evil forces.
The author puts him in difficult situations, thus
subtly and indirectly conveying the hero’s best
features to readers. This indirect approach is
widely taken in literature, however, excessive use
of this method could sometimes confuse the
reader. I suggest the author puts some thought
into this.
I have no doubt that readers will embrace
Zakir Fakhri’s unique poems with deep
philosophical meaning which make them
contemplate.
