Poems, Poets and Assemblies

All the names later given to our classical poetry, such as Divan Literature, Aristocrat Literature, High Class Literature, Havas Literature, almost always evoked the idea that the poets were detached from the public and clustered around the sultans. Those who gave these names took particular care to ensure that they were understood as such, and when talking about the poets, they almost tried to portray them as sycophants who slept in the palace. However, in the pages of this book, you will get to know them with their real faces and as people of the people, contrary to what is said. You will understand that they lived lives like us in their own time, and you will feel sorry for the injustice of their rejection by their grandchildren after all these centuries. For this reason, sometimes stop between the lines and please think about how much the truth outweighs the novel. Then, perhaps your judgments about the old poets will have changed, and perhaps you will not hesitate to sign these lines, which are a declaration of apology to those magnificent masters of words.
