Sherko Bekas as a poet aware of the changes around him turns the drowning of Samad Behrangi into a poem, The Son of the Sea, and tells it in a rich language.

In his one-hundred-and-ninth ode known as "Kurdistan's Night Torch", another characteristic adds up to the rest of the aesthetic sense of Mullah Jaziri. And that is he mentions the name of a land directly called Kurdistan in his poem and he is in love with a lady from Kurdistan.

From "Revolutionary" Kurdish Poets to "Anti-Republic" Persian Poets

Comparing two poems written at the same time for a republic system by a poet from the center of Iran named Mirzade Eshqi and a Kurdish poet living in a distant city in the East part of Kurdistan can clarify many things for us. Since the social structure of the Kurdish people in Kurdistan was a political structure even before the Constitutional Revolution in Iran, the people could understand the Monarchy's corrupted system much better.

Sayd Yaqo's poetry was very popular among the Gorans and his style and the way of his view compared to previous poets can be said that he was more influenced by Khana Ghobadi and Almas Khan.

Ali Hariri, the First Poet in Kurmanji Dialect of the Kurdish Language

All the scripts have mentioned that he was the first poet who wrote poems and prose in the Kurmanji dialect of Kurdish. For instance, "Alexander Jaba" wrote: Ali Hariri was the first Kurdish poet who had written a Kurdish diwan and texts.

Khana Ghobadi, the Art of Translation and Linguistic Identity

Khana Ghobadi, who translates Shirin and Khosrow, knows that he is translating a work from another language into his own, but he believes that his language is no less capable than the language of the source text because he can express what the poet of the other language, Nezami, said in his national language.

"Seyyed Kamil Imami" and the Dialectic Between Sense and Mind

Seyyed Kamil Imami not only played a role in preserving the language and literature of Baban schools in the East part of Kurdistan as a poet, but he also had applied a pure form of the language with no foreign or non-original words in it.

However, in some of his poems and even his language, it is clear that he was under Nali, Wafaei, and Mahwi's influence.

Mullah Ghafoor Dabbaghi from the Proverbs of Their Ancestors to the Poetry of Resistance

Interestingly, although Mala Ghafoor was blind, his descriptions of nature and women are very accurate. His expressions are fresh and poetic, and his poems have less imitation. Another part of Mullaha Ghafoor's poems are poems of resistance to oppression and they are dominated by a political atmosphere and reflect the unfavorable political situation in Kurdistan.

Mamosta Hemin and the Bitter Essential Questions

What is clearly evident in many of Hemin's texts that have caused the poet's anger, boredom, loneliness, and depression is his way of thinking, believing, and confronting the prominent person in society; this is characteristic of many Eastern societies, and many sources can be read for more information, one of which is the sociology of killing the elites.

Shami Kermashani, The Poet of the Poor

In an introduction to Shami's book "Chapkagul", Mamosta Hazhar describes Shami as follows: I read Shami's collection of poems "Kurdi Kermashani".
