Sezai Karakoc

This Turkish writer, thinker, and poet seeks to bridge traditional Islamic beliefs with modern poetic techniques. His poetry, characterized by a metaphysical foundation and contemporary language, aims to express profound spiritual and philosophical ideas. Karakoç emphasizes three essential principles for a poet: the necessity of self-realization through transformation, the importance of artistic self-sufficiency drawing from an inner world, and the joy derived from enabling life rather than merely living. His distinct approach to poetry secures his unique place in Turkish literature.
