Cycle of sonnets in the Karakalpak poetry

Mostly, every national literature genres develop due to external influence. The genre of sonnet came to Karakalpak literature in the 1960s and 70s under the impact of West literature and became one of the genres of lyrics. Therefore, any given literary work cannot be considered as a cycle. The cycle has its own principles and theoretical bases. They are the problems which interest literary critics. Every verse in the cycle is a separate independent composition as well as being part of the whole. The independence or freedom of the poems in a cycle depends on whether they have been given titles or not. Six sonnets of these collections are the same, only the-last collection having two new ones. However, the collection of poems *Keuildegi keng dunya+ (The Wide World of My Soul) included *Sorsha+ sonnets, other old sonnets and three new ones-all making up one cycle.
