This paper examines the interplay between tragic sensibility and dramatic structure in contemporary Uzbek women’s poetry, with a particular focus on the works of Zebo Mirzo. The study investigates how lyrical compositions employ structural elements traditionally associated with drama—exposition, conflict, climax, and resolution—to construct intense psychological and emotional narratives. Through close readings of selected poems, the analysis reveals how poetic monologue, inner conflict, and historical personae contribute to the creation of a “stage-like” tragic experience, transforming the lyric form into a medium of performative and theatrical expression. This dramaturgical approach to the lyric reflects a shift in contemporary Uzbek women’s poetry from purely introspective sentiment to scenically structured emotional enactment.
