How did Davit Guramishvili's use of colloquial language differ from earlier Georgian poetry?

Davit Guramishvili’s use of colloquial language marked a significant departure from the more formal or conventional styles that characterized much of earlier Georgian literature. While earlier traditions often focused on ornate courtly romances or ecclesiastical themes, Guramishvili utilized colloquial language to craft revealing, autobiographical poetry that possessed a distinct sense of Romantic immediacy.1

By incorporating the everyday language of his time, he moved away from the rigid, conventional poetics that had dominated previous literary eras, allowing for a more personal and direct expression of his experiences. This shift helped pave the way for the development of more modern, expressive forms of writing in the centuries that followed.1
