The paper centers on new tendencies in Tatar poetry of the late 20th — early 21st centuries. The paper analyzes verses by a young Tatar poet Bulat Ibrahim. It traces new tendencies of Tatar national poetry development, artistic devices used by the poet and the principles of surrealism characteristic of the poet’s verse. The paper focuses on automatic writing, symbolism, skilful play upon poetic traditions, collage, absurdity, allegory, which are characteristic of B. Ibrahim’s poetic style. The paper analyzes how the young poet employs the above-mentioned features to revive genre traditions of “ozyn shigyr” (long verse) typical of poetic experiments of futurists and imaginists of the 1920s. Bulat Ibrahim uses the techniques of automatic writing and stream of consciousness to underline various senses based on unordinary images and unexpected judgments. It should be noted, however, that both Bulat Ibrahim and the modernist poets of the 1920s touch upon national problems. The devices typical of surrealism help the poets to create wondrous surrealistic images that prompt readers to think and complete the unfinished pictures.

  1. Ibrahim’s poetry, Tatar poetry, surrealism, automatic writing, play upon poetic traditions.
