Özet:

Kemal Özer (1935-2009), one of the important authors of Turkish literature in the Republican era; is a productive and versatile artist who had worked on many types of literature such as poetry, story, moment, travel writing, essay, criticism, journal, interview. K. Özer gave particular importance to poetry especially among the species mentioned above, and he came to the forefront with his poet identity. The poet started to write poetry at the beginning of the 1950s, while in his early works of poetry especially in Gül Yordamı (1959), Ölü Bir Yaz (1960), Tutsak Kan (1963), the influence of 'İkinci Yeni' poetry is seen, it seems that he started to adopt a socialist realistic poetry concept together with his work Kavganin Yüreği (1973) written after 1970's. Although Kemal Özer's relation with the Second New is short, the poetry of this period has important effects on his understanding. K. Özer has created a poem that pushes the boundaries of poetry to create new utterance possibilities, which regards the word as the basic element of poetry, the image of which is important, the new quests in inter-word relations, against syntax and general rules. This creation has created a closed, distant-associative, self-confessing universe of poetry. It is possible to say that the poet generally goes to certain themes and items in his works which he keeps on the socialist realistic line. In this period, especially the problems of the working class become the focal point of his poems. His sensitivity towards this mass also shapes his understanding of poetry and the language of poetry. This new understanding of poetry, especially started with the Kavganin Yüreği, is fed from a political and discourse. Items such as social and political quarrels, labor-labor, supremacy, hope, universality, consciousness-consciousness and concept-collectivism are the main thematic elements in this basic template.
