Mukriyani style of poetry has developed from a process of activating a number of linguistic and literary potentials that, since the time of Haji Qadir Koyi, have remained hidden in Kurdish literature–in Central Kurmanci dialect. Among the characteristic features of this poetic style are, divergence from the formal and learned language used by the Baban school of poetry; “addressing people” as a stylistic strategy for preparing the ground for the application of a less formal language; use of everyday speech and building on the literary potentials of everyday language; activating the literary potentials of Kurdish folklore; and synthesizing previous styles of Kurdish poetry.
