Product description

Despite the fact that Cahit Zarifoğlu’s poetry is considered so incomprehensible, obscure, or difficult to understand, no sensible reader of poetry (whether a critic or a reader) has so far dared to reject or dismiss these poems.

Rasim Özdenören: No matter which text by Cahit Zarifoğlu you read, if you enter his world as if stepping into a new climate

just as entering a new climate affects you and changes you, so too will you be transformed.

Alim Kahraman: Regardless of the specific qualities he used to guide the young Muslim poets who began writing after him, those who came after him will find something to learn from him.

Both in terms of the unique qualities of poetry and in terms of the tendencies of a Muslim poet in worldly life.

Ismet Özel: Cahit Zarifoğlu had reached a point where he had established a poetic language within his own world and used it masterfully.

That is, whenever a situation—belonging to that which is indescribable—arose in poetry, whenever there was a perception, he would immediately pour it into poetry.

Erdem Bayazit: In my opinion, Cahit’s poetry does not possess a nature that can be readily formulated or described within a specific mold.

Cahit was, in the old terminology, a “poet by nature”—a poet born with the gift.

Akif Inan: In today’s world, where achieving both rhythm and emotional communication in Turkish is perhaps the most challenging task for a poet, he had added the ability to “hold embers in his palm” to this.

While constantly elevating his “state” toward the better, he was engaged in a struggle to adapt his “poetry” to this new “state.”

Prof. Dr. Hüseyin Hatemi: I asked Ece Ayhan

according to her, “Cahit Zarifoğlu” is one of the artists who best understood the issue of structure in poetry and can be cited as an example in this regard. She also noted this in *A Calligrapher Without Arms*.

Cemal Süreya: I could only observe Cahit Zarifoğlu’s poetry and prose from the seclusion of my own corner, amidst that distance, separation, and otherness.

This delicate poetry, which could find no place for itself in the atmosphere of confrontation, and this closed yet undeniably artistic prose, always preserved their unique values.

Selim Ileri: I believe Cahit Zarifoğlu’s poetry—along with all his other works, even extending to the “Answers to the Reader” he wrote under a pseudonym—can be regarded as insights that shed light on many things.

This is a poem that captures humanity in its most unadorned form.
