Abstract
Certain features of spatial images representation in the Gennadiy Aygi’s poetry which are often related to the time and images of childhood are highlighted. The natural topoi of the forest, field, etc., including the place of an individual plant, the child’s body as a place and the mortal places are analyzed. It is concluded that childhood images are able to set a positive interpretation vector of the natural space or create a semantic contrast in the context of anthropogenic mortal spaces. The plant topoi endowed with the traits of childishness and the child’s body topoi are considered from the position of the general cultural “divine child” archetype. At the same time, according to our opinion, plant images can be correlated with national and mythological images of the poet’s native culture, and hyperbolization of the child’s body, which is presented as a limitless, comprehensive space, is an individually poetic realization of the grotesque body’s image.
