Autumn in verse: Uzbek poets on the season of withering

Autumn through the eyes of poets

The National Agency of Uzbekistan (UzA) has published, in its 'Ijod va ilhom' ('Creativity and Inspiration') section, a piece on how Uzbek poets describe autumn. The outlet notes that every person has their own characterization and praise for this season, and asks what members of the creative community have to say about it. The publication gathers lines from poems by Uzbek poets about autumn, including images of the rustle of falling leaves and hazan — the autumn withering of nature.

What the piece is about

The compilation is of a review nature: the agency invites readers to look at the familiar season through poetic lines and to compare different authors' descriptions of autumn. The full text with quotations from the poems is available on the uza.uz website. The brief announcement does not name specific poets or works — these are revealed in the publication itself.
