Impact of Pandemic as the Sudden Change on the World and National Criticism
Abstract
From time immemorial up to the present day, mankind has been shaken by various human fears and trials: wars, natural disasters, pandemics ... Much has been preserved by the poetry from the history of life and death: in epics, myths, legends, epitaphs … Today, when the world’s greatest concern is new pandemic, poetry continues to fulfill its function in suppressing negative emotions, maintaining inner strength, vitality, spiritual harmony. To overcome new „pandemic“, that „killer of people“ (Saba), the Georgian literary periodicals of 2020-2021 pay attention to the newest poems written by contemporary Georgian poets, which evidence that „the pandemic has given rise to a new wave of themes“ (B. Kharanauli ).
