Orhan Veli - Poems

Orhan Veli - Poems Book Description "First, he hated the falseness in the language of poetry. This hatred led him to public language, folk speech. Those who think that this is just a change of tools, a change of phraseology, are mistaken. Because underneath the folk speech were the people of the people. 'By writing Süleyman Efendi, the noble He was sticking to the subjects of poetry. But there was also a man: A simple man. It was clear from that time that this man would make the poet wonder about himself and draw him into his own troubles." (Melih Cevdet Anday, 1951) "Orhan Veli Gariple was behind him for better or worse. He left a master poet. His poems before Garip show us that he could have been a master poet in that style. But what did he do? He left them without mercy. Then he became an apprentice again. He constantly tried to remain a novice. Maybe he knew that being a novice had a beautiful, delicious, challenging and adventurous atmosphere. (Turgut Uyar, 1955) "Orhan Veli often reflects the lives of others with an affectionate sarcasm, or let's say with a smile. He does this by speaking from their mouths, leaning on the language. He likes to point out the differences between the manners of speech. I think he enjoys these differences and enjoys them. The fact that Çelebi, a person who is both a good observer and has a very strong memory, was able to capture the poetry of his daft tone in his works is a great achievement of workmanship, beyond intuition..."
