Abstract
The article presents a comprehensive chronicle of the illustrious Karachay-
Balkarian poet, Magomet Khasuevich Mokaev (1939-2007). It delves into the significant milestones of his life and writing career, offering a succinct portrayal of the primary domains of his poetic endeavors. Moreover, it highlights his remarkable contributions to the cultural fabric of the Balkar people, encompassing his prowess in translation and editing, achievements in the realm of versification, notable advancements in the sonnet genre, and noteworthy publications in children's literature, among others.
Conducting an exploration of his poetic collections, namely "Zhuregimi tebiyu" ("Beating of My Heart" (1960), "Jugutur muyuz" ("The Resounding Horn" (1967), "Duniya zharygy" ("Radiance of the Universe" (1976), "Ak biyikleni zhyrlary" ("Songs of White Peaks" (1979), "Azat Ayaz" ("The Liberating Breeze" (1976), "Zhetegeyle" ("Caravan Star" (1980), and "Zhashau Tirmeni" ("Wheelmill of Life" (1996), we discern the poet's profound engagement with timeless themes, while reveling in the melodious cadence and rhythmic tapestry of his verses. Resonating harmoniously within his poetry, the organic fusion of folklore elements and the rich tapestry of world literary traditions are encountered. Algyshi (blessings), songs, and the judicious use of proverbs permeate the lyrical tapestry. The paper adopts hermeneutic, cultural, and semiotic approaches to its analysis.
