We are celebrating women today!

And everyday!

Female power is embedded in beauty of the world around and within!

What can be more expressive of female beauty than art and poetry!

This Tatar leather-textile-text-art-insipred collage features a beautiful exerpt from Gөlnaz Deniz poetry. It enlightens us of impossibility to be tired of beauty (maturlıkneñ eçenä qayvaqıt sıyıp bulmıy),its encompassing presence (soklanıp tuıp bulmıy. “Soklanu” loosely equates “to be in awe” in English).

The way Gөlnaz describes the feeling, when beauty and love are intentangled and make you fly, (Möldörämä tulğan hislär, tügelсә – tıyıp bulmıy) is untranslatable! It is worth to learn the endangered Tatar language just to feel the Tatar expressive poems that help connect us to ourselves and the world!

Here is one more treat from Gөlnaz Garipova-Deniz, poet, Tatar literature expert, educator. This poem is very lyrical. Here is how it is performed by Tatar singer Guzel Urazova. Interested in the meaning of the lyrics? Reach out to AlimaAcademy to signup for the Tatar Poetry course.
