For the first time Gutseriev is portrayed not only as a popular lyrics author, but also as an exceptionally gifted poet, whose scope of talent is to be evaluated. “…And Gutseriev – self-made man of distinction and natural born poet, who wasn`t schooled by literary environment, who didn`t belong to any poetic society, who didn`t inhale the smoky air of professional disputes, may be unconsciously, but does wield the Veritas. Divine spark within him illuminates his path in poetry”, – Kunyaev wrote .
