Necip Fazıl Kısakürek, a poet who bravely wandered through the mystical-tragic corridors of the human soul, wrote his own "Poetika" and stands as a central figure in modern Turkish poetry. His identity as a thinker and advocate also makes him a leading actor in Turkish intellectual life.
Çile is a masterpiece, a collection that the poet meticulously curated over years, refining and organizing his poetry, capturing the essence of his sixty-year poetic journey in a structure he built himself.
In the words of Behçet Necatigil: "Necip Fazıl evaluated the elements of our Sufi poetry using the standards of modern French poetry, exploring the place of the abstract human in the universe. He expressed the problems of matter and spirit, the hidden feelings and passions of the inner world, with a robust and settled language, and a stable and solid technique."
