Özet: The unkown men of letters and their works form a private and an independent domain in Kurdish literature, for surveys and studies concerning new writers and their literary works may be considered as untouched and fresh topics to be dealt with both for Kurdish and Kurds. Hardly a day passes without exploring a new poet, author and his works that are put in the agenda. The subject of our article is a contemporary man of letters who has not been recognized yet. Xemkûrê Xursî is amongst the classical poets and writers of Kurdish. He is the owner of 13 works in total, 2 of which are in prose and remaining ones in poetry. 8 of his poetical works constitute separate diwans. None of his works has been published nor has it been reviewed by anyone up to now. This article aims at dealing with Xemkûr’s life, his works, their literary contents and his literary personality.  Furthermore his works are examined and described through various criteria such as methodogy, style and theme. As a consequent the Kurdish library will be privileged to know 13 new-hand written manuscripts. As a last point to mention, this study will potentially lead the curious reader to learn more about him and to conduct more comprehensive studies in the future.
