Hanapi Ebekuev - author of poetry in the style of ultraminimalism

Hanapi Ebekuev is a newly born name in the literary field. About his biography of information is negligible. Some people even believe that the name hides not one person, but a group of enthusiasts.

Ebekukev Hanapi Magomedovich. Biography

That's what is known about the author. Ebekekev Hanapi Magomedovich was born on November 1, 1956 in the city of Cherkessk in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic and died there in 2010. He opened a new direction for Russia in poetry - ultraminimalism. The Caucasian is not an educated poet, it's an amateur who writes awkward but penetrating verses in Russian. It is rumored that his work fell on the bookshelves by accident. Someone from his friends jokingly took his creations to the publishing house.

Scanned pages with verses immediately appeared on the Internet. They were postponed by bloggers in LiveJournal. They discussed and searched for the hidden meaning.

Many people like his simple and simple syllable. Ebekkuev Hanapi is the author of 11 collections of poems. The most famous among them:

• "Everything happens in life";
• "Love";
• "I came with a bouquet to you."

A bit about ultra-minimalism

In this part of the article we will talk about this little-known direction. The lexical stock in writing poems is very poor. Typically, this is:

• Verbs;
• Words - status categories.

Pronouns, adjectives, nouns are used less often. They are used only to describe abstractions, and more often to express qualitative or material concepts.

The structure of poetry

Ultraminimalism destroys the poetic canons. But this does not happen completely, but descends only to the lowest "kindergarten level." Here, the destruction of poetic speech is observed, the breaking of all the poetic canons. The verses have a broken rhythm, and if a melodic melody appears miraculously, then it's probably stamps and phrases. Hanapi did not think much about how the verse would sound. He is a romantic poet who tries to make this world better in his own way.

Ebekukev Hanapi Magomedovich. Poems

Russian is not a native for the poet. Some of his poems sound strange. It seems that they are written down from the words of a five-year-old child. At the same time Ebekuev Hanapi Magomedovich has many admirers. He writes about simple life things. About love to the motherland, to nature, to your woman, to children.

Hanapi is not good at rhyming, he does not respect the laws of writing poetry. This author conquered others - he is able to create images and convey mood.

"One-voice polyphony"

In the work of Ebekekev Hanapi Magomedovich you will find short poems that resemble excerpts from a personal diary: notes, observations, emotions, scraps of thoughts. The emphasis in the collections is put on the personality of the writer or lyric hero. It is a little strange that in verse he writes both on behalf of a man and on behalf of a woman. Most often, the sex of the lyrical hero is difficult to determine. It is possible to get caught only for his experiences and his inner world.

The lyric hero in the works is a resident of the Russian Federation. He does not have a certain nationality, but believes that Russia should be indivisible. In the picture of the world, Ebekuev has no place for religion. If you take all the books of the author, then only one work deals with the need to build a temple in a certain city. For the lyrical hero, God is too mysterious and complex essence. He avoids writing about him. The protagonist can be an adept of any faith or be an atheist.

Patriotic Poetry

The lyrical hero in the books is a Russian citizen in the broadest sense of the word. The author sings of the beauty of Russian girls, advocates for power, believes that the powerful know more how to rule the country, stands for the indivisibility of the Russian Federation.

The theme of the Great Patriotic War in books

It is evident that Hanapi Ebbekuev cares about the theme of the memory of the soldiers who have risen to defend the homeland from the fascists. In his poems, he condemns with disapproval those who forget about terrible events. Writes about the war, the author is mostly cliches.

Description of nature in verse

Landscapes in verses are expressed through human sensations. It's even hard to call classical descriptions of nature: everything is very primitive, with lots of cliches. The author does not describe natural beauty or phenomena, he writes about the change of seasons and spontaneous phenomena.

Almost immediately after entering the poems on the Internet, a lot of imitators of Hanapi appeared. Jokers are clinging to a scanned sheet from a poet's book a portrait of another man or woman and writing in the same style.

Advocates of poetry Hanapi Ebekukuev say that if such works were written by "Moscow conceptualists", for example Gelman or Prigov, then admirers would perceive creativity as postmodern, primitivism, sarcasm or grotesque.

People who deride a Caucasian poet should understand that he is not writing in his native language. Of course, if the Russian language is native and you are familiar with poetic art, you can write some good poetry, but will they have the same sincerity, naivety and soul as in the poems of Hanapi Ebekuev?
