Otuz Beş Yaş - Mini Kitap

"Age thirty five, half the way down.
We are in the middle of life like Dante.
The gem of our young age,
Begging and praying are futile today,
"He leaves without looking back."

Cahit Sıtkı Tarancı's poem "Thirty Five Ages", which begins with these lines, is among the cult poems of Turkish literature. In the words of another master of poetry, Behçet Necatigil: "Cahit Sıtkı Tarancı, who praised the beauty of life and love in his poems, emphasized the superiority of death, and used Turkish with all his sweetness and expressive power, became one of the most read poets of his period and had a unique style without being affiliated with any movement." He developed poetry."

Tarancı's answer to a question about poetry is in line with this: "Because I believe in the close relationship between poetry and life, I have never thought of poetry as proving an idea (...). This independence required by the structure of poetry can also be explained by the poets' love of freedom. "It is no wonder that poets are always the first to raise the flag of rebellion in oppressive regimes." We present all of Tarancı's poems with the meticulous compilation of valuable critic Asım Bezirci.
