Özet:

Sezai Karakoç, one of the prominent poets of Turkish poetry, has written his poems within the trend called “Second New Poetry” and has a remarkable role incident thereto through the significant innovations brought thereby to poetry. He is the author of the books named The Gulf, The Main Vessels, Forthy Hours with Hızır, The Voices, The Book of Taha, The Good News from the Rose, Words Dedicated to the Time, Rites, Leyla and Mecnun, The Fire Dance and The Clock of the Faith. Karakoç offers poems with certain literary value to the readers in these books. It can easily be said that Karakoç reaches out to readers from all walks of life when creating his poems by highlighting the contrast of nature and culture through taking advantage of the geography and culture that he belongs. Karakoç creates his poems by images that can be understood by the society thereby both enriching his poems and by being different from the other poets of the “Second New Poetry” trend to which he belongs. This difference created by Sezai Karakoç in terms of being understood is accentuated by basing his poems on religion, Sufism and Divan poetry tradition. Karakoç, in his subsequent poems, follows the Western poem tradition and shows his desire germane to modernization in terms of language and form by writing his poems in Freestyle poetry. Karakoç, who wants to reach modernization by using words that can be understood by everyone, wipes out the idea that poets live in glass houses thanks to his works. Images such as mother, wind and nightingale employed in his poems that are familiar to everyone can be discussed in terms of psychoanalysis. Sezai Karakoç who expresses the longing of people who are trapped due to the changing urban life to nature in most of his poems stresses that people will return to nature under any conditions. Roses, nightingales, mother, wind, raven, vineyards, mountains, sky and sea are the natural and cultural elements often used in the poems of the famous poet. Karakoç, who creates his poems through these elements has his name rather frequently mentioned due to the creation of the literary Works thereof by using contrasts
