The collection opens with the titular poem “My Uzbekistan” — a sweeping, blazing hymn that gathers a thousand years of memory into a single heartbeat. Here march the ghosts of Tomaris and Alpomish, of Cyrus fallen beneath an Amazonian queen, of Ulugh Beg measuring the heavens with his astrolabe, of Navoiy’s nightingale shot dead in the darkness of tyranny. Here, too, are the nameless millions who queued for bread beneath a pitiless red sky, whose books were drowned in the Amu and the Syr, whose tears made the cotton fields saltier still. And here, finally, is the eagle of liberty descending in 1991, alighting on the head of a people who suddenly remembered who they were. “Yet I praised you with every breath, every heartbeat” — in that single line Mavluda distils the entire paradox of loving a homeland that has both cradled and crucified its children.
This is not nostalgia; it is exorcism and resurrection at once.
The book moves between two great currents. The first is epic and public: the Uzbekistan of steppes without horizon, of Temur’s thunder, of a nation that declares, through its young poet, “There are no cowards in Turkestan.” The second current is intimate, almost unbearably private: the Uzbekistan of fathers who mourn the birth of daughters, of husbands who board planes southward and never return, of mothers who stitch torn dresses and torn lives with the same patient needle, of women who wait, who forgive, who burn quietly in rooms that grow colder with each passing winter.
