EARLY WORKS OF ABISH KEKILBAYEV

Abstract. Currently, the literary and creative heritage of a prominent statesman and public figure, people's writer of Kazakhstan Abish Kekilbaev is being studied in detail. Scientific interest in his work began during the life of the artist, many scientific studies were written and dissertations were defended. Today, this process has been found to continue in a vast scientific field called Abishology. There is no doubt that the literary heritage of the writer will continue to be studied from different angles, from the point of view of various scientific paradigms and theoretical and artistic analysis. In the study of personality and literary creativity, the abundance and completeness of sources is important. In this regard, the poems and articles that the writer published for the first time in the newspapers in his early years have their place. Last year, employees of the Mangistau Regional Museum of Local Lore named after A. Kekilbaev prepared a bibliographic index of the short works of the writer, published in the local periodical press in 1953-1958. This work consists of two parts: the first part contains a bibliographic index of the writer's articles and poems, and the second part contains their text. Thus, a total of 42 works were collected (34 articles, 8 poems). The preface of the museum director S. Kudaibergen, given at the beginning of the collection, reveals the purpose and structure of the work. The presentation of the writer's texts, along with a list of his first poems that were not included in previous collections, shows the cumulative nature of the work. In addition to being a bibliographic index, we can say that this is a small collection containing the works of the writer. It can become a necessary source for future researchers of A. Kekilbaev's creativity. Such information and data will be continuously collected and supplemented. This article discusses the first poems and articles of the writer, written in his school years, analyzes their thematic and content orientation and artistic features. It is clear that the scientific study of such poems and articles, which testify to the desire for literature and the creative search for young talent, especially poetry, reveals the beginnings of the poetic formation and creative evolution of the writer. The young author's view of the surrounding world, concern for the country and the future of the region are considered from a theoretical point of view and a scientific assessment is given.
