Edip Cansever was an important Turkish poet. He was accepted as a founder of Second New Movement in Turkish poetry. If we want to describe the characteristics of this movement; it attaches importance to imagination and affectivity in poetry, it wants to destroy the traditional form of it, it tells the loneliness and foreignness of the person in modern and capitalist world and his/her distresses.(1) Edip Cansever never accepted Second New as a homogeneous movement and he never accepted that he is one of the founders of this movement. According to him other poets who were included to this movement had different ideas about poetry. Edip Cansever told that he wanted to create a reasoning poetry. He was against to absurdity and word plays as a purpose in poetry.

The characters in his poems are generally antiheroes who live on the edges. They are stranger to themselves and to the world. They live in a deep depression. And they seek the comfort in gambling and alcohol. You cant find any lyricism easily in his poems. He mentioned that he had no job with it. He was a brilliant observer. He used every beautiful, important or interesting things that his eyes caught in his poems. We can say his poetry is a sole look to human and to the world. He minded tragedy. And he used some elements of it in his poetry. You can find many long poems of him including these elements.

I read two poetry books of him. One is "Ben Ruhi Bey Nasılım(I am Mr Ruhi How Am I?" and second is "Bezik Oynayan Kadınlar(Women Playing Bezik)" Then I wondered if there are any books of him translated to English and I found this book: "Dirty August" There are some poems of him translated to English in this book. I haven´t read it yet. But I read Edip Cansever´s poems. And I am sure you will not be disappointed when you meet this poet through his poems.

 I read nearly all of his works and I am preparing a thesis about him.

 "Seni görmek için bekleyemiyorum" It is weird. Use "sabırsızlanıyorum" instead of "bekleyemiyorum"

 My translation : Birçok kızı hayatım diye çağırıyorsun.

 Your translation is correct. But generally we use present continous tense instead of simple present tense.So "Senin mesajların yüzümde bir gülümseme bırakıyor" is better.

 I hope we can meet again I want and hope to see you as much as you want.

or you misread "şef" as "jet"

we can´t meet chief (means friend in street language)

Chingiz Aitmatov was an author who told the stories of ordinary people who lived in the Soviet Union. Some of these people embraced the socialism idea and struggled to make it prosper. But they were crushed under the cruel and inhuman politics of Stalin which saw human as an object, as a number. Some of them were accused of being traitors because they dared to criticize these politics. While Soviet revolution was crushing and destroying its own children, a new generation who was a stranger to itself, its nation and its culture was raised in Soviet boarding schools. A generation who had no respect to the nature, human and any culture.

The struggles between man and man, man and nature were often told in Aitmatov´s novels. Despite all disappointments he experienced, he still wanted to trust people. He didn´t want to lose the belief of a world which is peaceful and full of hope created by us. There are two novels of this great author of Kirghizes translated to English. One of them is his masterpiece "The Day Lasts More Than A Hundred Year" and other is a simple but touchy love story of him "Jamillia." I recommend you to read them.
