Abstract: The paper considers the mediated type of the influence of the epic genre on the early literature. Revealed in the poetic texts of A. E. Kulakovsky is a system of narrative devices, which date back to the traditional epos, but are used in poetic (rather than song-like) genre forms of literature. In the written poem genre a consistent orientation to epic principles of space and time modeling is noted. This reproduces the invariant whole of the epic narration. Analysis of the texts of the first Yakut poet makes it possible to suggest a special kind of influence of the implicit poetics of the traditional epos on the early Yakut literature.
