From the supplier: Social issues written in verse do not necessarily mean that these are poems. A poet can successfully write about social issues and avoid turning the poem into propaganda by writing at the personal level. The poet's personality must be stamped in the poem or else it is not poetry at all. History, social issues and other subjects must be seen from the poet's particular point of view which cannot be replicated. Tajik contemporary poetry, especially those by the young poets, explore forms other than what had been imposed. They must not, however, totally forget the discipline found in traditional poetry.
