FEATURES OF OSMAN SARIVELLI'S CREATIVITY
Abstract. Osman Sarivelli has a special place among the artists who have
demonstrated their unique creative style and dedication to the spirit of the
tradition originating from the gopuz-saz in twentieth-century Azerbaijani
poetry. The rich literary heritage of the outstanding artist has become the
subject of different analyses in various aspects, and today the same approach
demonstrates itself with more variety at a paradigmatic level. The individual
poems of the writer, who is connected to folk poetry in spirit, and the various
literary examples he wrote on various topics are an indication of this. Thousands
of years of traditions, molded values and moral norms, the rich life culture of
the ethnos, etc. are specified by taking their place in the works of the writer
in various forms. O. Sarıvelli's creativity is a fundamental source for
clarifying the richness of the path that the people have taken in all
parameters, the ethnographic perfection, the general dynamics of the Turkish
poetic tradition, and for determining what is conveyed in its essence.
