Oktay Rıfat All Poems 1

"My dear friend Oktay, I received poems from an unknown verse and a language that has never been heard before (...) Since these poems are a very new tune, they are now loved by those who have a taste for early years. As can be seen, the number of those who love it increases day by day, and those who do not understand poetry at all will never "He doesn't understand, and there is no need for those kinds of words anyway."
(From Yahya Kemal Beyatlı's letter to Oktay Rifat)

"The poetic conjuncture in Oktay Rifat shows great ups and downs. Each change gives the reader the impression that it is in some ways the exact opposite of the previous one. However, these have nothing to do with changing identity (...) Although it may seem strange at first, the periods that appear as opposites of each other and the products of these periods are connected to each other." ; the joints are those opposite exit points.
(Cemal Süreya)

"Oktay Rifat's images are not the symbol of something else, a higher realm of existence waiting to be believed; they are only symbols of themselves, but of themselves as an absence, a metaphor for their own absence. And while they break the illusion they create, they also suspend the conservative equation that forms around this illusion." ."
(Orhan Koçak)

"Oktay Rifat created a high style in which he could reflect life in its entirety and with all the richness of detail in the poems he wrote, from Elleri Var Özgüreğin to his last book, Koca Bir Yaz. In this last period, Oktay Rifat is like a generous sage who looks beyond the horizon and shares the secrets of existence with his readers. Justice ", freedom and the passage of time are themes that he still cares about, but the wild joy of his early poems has been replaced by a philosophical smile."
(Cevat Çapan)

"For him, the most important thing in life was to be 'essah'. Being on the side of truth in feelings, words and deeds, and not lying, was the greatest, perhaps the only, virtue. Just as one should not lie, one should not write poetry or a work of art. It was a matter of honor and existence." This."
(Samih Rifat)

"Oktay Rifat's poem proved that the collaboration of spontaneous writing with chance can be controlled while preserving its main feature, in short, that an ultra-modern writing technique can fit into a classical rhythm; I think it is something we can only see in Rilke and to a certain extent in Aragon." This is mastery, partly in Montale's old age. (...) Oktay Rifat's poetry completely fluidized the image structure that had become congested and the writing that had become cramped."
