As we know, together with Melih Cevdet Anday, Orhan Veli Kanık and Oktay Rifat, he wrote "Garip", which brought a new breath and momentum to Turkish poetry. He is one of the initiators of the new poetry movement called. While re-reading all his poems, I was happy to remember the poems that I had forgotten and had not paid much attention to. In addition to his poems, which are mostly shared instantly on social media, his before and after poems are called "You Are Inside the Treasures", which reminds us of the mining disaster in İliç and the surrender of our mines at no cost. The poem broke my heart. He has many poems that I underline and read over and over again. I will share a few of them as quotes; If you are wondering what the use of poetry is, I recommend you read Anday's poems. If you don't want to be disturbed, don't read.
