Kenshilik – is a poet of the nation. A great poet. He reached such heights having lived only about 45 years. When you read any of his poems, you experience an amazing feeling, as if the soul finds peace. In childhood, we knew many of his poems by heart. He left behind such great poems as «Иманжүсіп», «Коянды жәрмеңкесі», «Біржан сал», «Сарытерек сағынышы». Therefore, I believe the great poet should be remembered as often as possible.
