Paata Shamugia as a project

Eka Kevanishvili   |   September 3, 2024

Paata is a project. He goes up in geometric progression. He always has answers about society, people, church, government etc. And these answers usually are ironic. And self-ironic. That's why he is so different. He loves to turn things upside down. 

One thing I would love to emphasize is that there are very rare number of authors who inspire me to keep writing like Paata Shamugia does. Meybe because I am the follower of this kind of poetry. First of all, he always feeds me with energy  and makes me to keep up with his protest and manifestations. He does not intend to write about some abstract things, he keeps being inside the things that are painfull for everyone. 

Once Shamugia said in the interviw that only young people liked his poetry. I would not differentiate so... Everybody can find something touching for him/her in his poetry.
