All Poems - Red Cat Classics

“Do not think that it is a rose or a tulip,
It's full of fire, don't hold it, you'll get burned
In front of you is this ridiculous piyale..."
Ahmet Hâşim is one of the founding poets of modern Turkish poetry. Even though he had two poetry books published during his lifetime, there is nothing similar to the impact that Hâşim had on Turkish poetry. The number of people who understand the innovations he brought and put his poems in a special place, especially names such as Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, Abdülhak Şinasi Hisar, Nurullah Ataç, is not insignificant. It is also a fact that today his value is better understood and there is a consensus that he is our first "modernist" poet.
In the book you have in your hands, you will find all the poems of Ahmet Hâşim that are in his books and in magazines. With this edition, which we present as a "critical edition" on facing pages in Ottoman-Turkish, you will see the differences between the copies and read this great name of modern Turkish poetry in its entirety.
