AESTHETIC DIMENSION OF ARTISTIC WORD IN THE GENRE OF POETIC MINIATURE

Abstract

Poetic miniature as a literary genre involves a small amount of text and maximum concentration of thoughts, feelings, and artistic images. The semantic saturation of the content of the work determines the use of stylistic means that contribute to the aestheticization of the artistic word. The article analyzes various forms of expression of language aesthetics in Iryna Kmet’s poetic miniatures – original in form, deeply philosophical in content, and rich in emotional palette. The main conceptual spheres of poetic miniatures are de汬ned – nature, man, art, God. Their relationship contributes to the creation of elaborate artistic images, philosophical generalization, and enhances the emotional and sensual spectrum of poetry. The aesthetic dimension of Iryna Kmet’s poetic words is polyhedral. The miniatures are characterized by a special rhythmic and phonetic organization, innovative experiments with the word (alliteration, paronymic attraction, writing a tautogram, the actualization of the internal form of the word, and playing with the content). The poet skilfully uses the connotative potential of the word and uses emotional and evaluative vocabulary, with which she demonstrates her own emotional experiences and reflections. The main linguistic means of aestheticization are highlighted, the importance of artistic and figurative text-creating elements, and compositional techniques that have an emotional and aesthetic impact on the reader are emphasized. It is traced how the semantic saturation of the content is combined with a creatively implemented structure. It is proved that the complex of artistic images in poetry goes back to national and cultural sources, from where the poet draws epithets, similes, and metaphors-symbols, especially for describing the natural world. The philosophical depth of poetic miniatures is a consequence of understanding the highest truths of human experience. The combination with a subjective, personal feeling of the surrounding world, and events in it determines the author’s generalizations. This makes it possible to affirm the high aphoristic nature of many poems.
