Abstract. The article is sanctified to research of originality of artistic detail in lyric text. The role of poetic detail is determined in creation of lyric character. Aesthetic functionality of detail is set in the system of poetics facilities. Greater part of poems in collection of «Vorsklo» a poet devoted to the sing of the heroic past of the Ukrainian people, his history, especially Zaporizhzhya cossacks. Yakov Schoholev does not aim to represent actual historical events or concrete historical persons. In his poems on this theme the generalized lines of the Zaporizhzhya cossacks, separate details of their way of life, ceremonies, traditions, character, specific way of their life, are reproduced. In these works a poet underlines the typical lines of the Zaporizhzhya cossacks is their patriotism, boldness, decision, contempt to death, loyalty in friendship. Poeticizing of labour, the romantic sing of labour process of Schoholev in poetic collection goes from the folk, folk-song understanding of work. One of characteristic features of realism of the best poetries of Scho- holev is brightly visible in poems – veracity of details teams up with the harmonious reproducing of unit, specification  – with the romantic key. With large love Y. Schoholev draws a tireless worker. A poetic detail, however, is not an end in itself for a writer. She gives the image of specification and locality of поэтичной picture. And this specification, locality again goes from the народнопоэ- тического arsenal of image to reality. It is marked that the landscape in the poems of collection is bright, multicoloured, saturated by voice and colour details and, that it is very important to mark, realistic. Exactly in the landscape lyric poetry of Y. Schoholev proved as a singer of love to nature, as master is in the image of emotionally saturated landscape, in ability thinly and talented by means of artistic detail to imprint colors and tints, paints and sounds on that nature of Ukrainian earth is rich. Artistic functionality of poetic detail was considered on material of concrete lyric works or their parts, the varieties of artistic details were determined on their basic functional destinies, the rich was demonstrated, innovative in bases and beyond measure productive in the real results creative ingenuity of poet Yakov Schoholev. It was set that an artistic detail in the poetry of Y. Schoholev often appears as non-permanent. But there is the repeated detail that for a writer most saturated. However it is necessary to understand her literally as a reiteration of the name of some object, sense, characteristic sign. It can be both symbolic intension and fragment of meditations of lyric hero, and substantial element of narration. Author as though as returns us to already said, wants once again to accent attention on before the said idea, maybe, completer to expose her, underline meaningfulness of said. Such detail aggravates an implication, does it visible, uplifts us  to  the  level  of  authorial  vision,  understanding  of  situation,  shades  something  important,  even  qualificatory  in  lyric  characters. Therefore Yakov Schoholev left original and unique standards to highly artistic lyric.
