Shamugia's writing - storming, absolute and relentless

Katerina Liatzoura   |   September 2, 2024

Paata Shamugia's writing storming. Absolute and relentless. He doesn't mince his words. He caresses no one's ears. Refers to public figures and situations by their name. He does not beautify political and social life in Georgia with beautiful expressions and romantic lyrics. Reality is harsh in his country, therefore the poet's writing is also harsh. Sometimes he mocks and mocks. Sometimes he scorns with loud words the morals and customs of his country. He provokes with his poetry. Its aim is to provoke. He wants to shake up the waters; perhaps the stagnant waters of a society which, in the poet's eyes, is disintegrating, and which stinks and heats up in his nostrils.
