Abstract:

Produced by poets who, despite their divergent poetic approaches, came together since they espoused traditional aesthetics (e.g. Tuğrul Tanyol, Adnan Özer, Metin Celâl, Haydar Ergülen, Ali Günvar, Vural Bahadır Bayrıl etc.), the literary magazines Üç Çiçek, Poetika and ŞiirAtı, have preserved their prominence to date. Opposing to the slogan poems on 1970s, poets like Tuğrul Tanyol, Adnan Özer, Metin Celâl, Haydar Ergülen, Ali Günvar, and Vural Bahadır Bayrıl who issued the magazines Üç Çiçek, Poetika and Şiir Atı, contributed to literary debates with their writings on what or what not poetry is. The main topics like “Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar Yaprakları, İlhan Berk Yaprakları, Adnan Özer Dosyası” covered in the magazines of the aforementioned poets indicate the homage they pay to the preceding poets and the value they appraise to one another. Studies on the poetry of poets like Âsaf Hâlet Çelebi, Ahmet Muhip Dıranas, Haydar Ergülen refer to the writings that took place in the aforementioned magazines. Such magazines left their marks for they provided the grounds for the poets of 1980s to make their voices heard collectively, publish their works and express their poetic approaches.
