Humanitarian poems .. selections of poems by Kaisar Bayikho

In human poems, Bayikho adds to his pioneering artistic achievements a cosmic vision of human pain; his world becomes more bitter, and longing for familiar places and things turns into a mysterious secret, troubling him with questions about the meaning of this life. What intensifies the tragedy of the poems is that a large part of them was written during days of misery and illness, under the weight of the tragedy of the Spanish Civil War, so they came filled with spiritual values and urgency for human solidarity, because pains and evils are enormous, and it is not man who grows and enlarges but misery, despair, and pain. Bayikho built in his human poems an epic of daily human suffering, so it is true what was said about this book that it represents in poetry what cubism represented in painting, and that Bayikho, like Picasso, knew in his life how to be a classic among the best classicists.
