<jats:p>The subject of our study is Gagik Saroyan’s poetry collections “Aylatsaghkum” (“Alterbloom”) (2018) and “Ayl” (“Other”) (2024).The purpose of this study is to scientifically evaluate Saroyan’s poetry collections, emphasizing their significance in the context of contemporary literature. Our main objective is to reveal the ideological orientation of the poetry collections, as determined by the poet’s civic engagement, as well as to address issues of art and poetic mastery. In writing the article, we primarily employed analytical, evaluative, and hermeneutic methods. In this article, we have analyzed the ideological and literary-artistic characteristics of the previously mentioned collections, their symbolic significance, and in particular, we have focused on the metaphor of the other/different in the poet’s poetic system. During the analysis, we have concluded that we are dealing with different collections by the same author, shaped by changes in the political situation in the country and the author’s emotional state. The book “Aylatsaghkum” (“Alterbloom”) presents the flourishing of the country, while the book “Ayl” (“Other”) depicts the war with its cruel consequences, which determine the stylistic and ideological shifts in the two books, as well as in the author’s mood.</jats:p>
