Öz
One of the exiled faces of Turkish poetry is Cemal Süreya. This aspect of the poet has been overlooked or missed for many years. However, in recent years, many issues that are not spoken in Turkey have started to be talked about, and the number of things said and written about this aspect of the poet has increased. We should now include the narrative of exile in the eroticism, lyricism and love/woman passion, which are the prominent features of the artist's poetry. In fact, we should say that the narrative of exile is basically the nurturer of these three qualities.
It is obligatory to read the exile, which affects the poet's spiritual world, through the loss of the mother. The family of the artist was exiled from Erzincan to Bilecik when he was only six years old and the poet's mother passed away shortly after. These two events are a deep break for the poet who lost both his childhood home and his mother.
In this article, we tried to evaluate eroticism, which is the most prominent feature of Cemal Süreya's poetry, through exile and loss of mother. Basically, we are saying that the eroticism that dominates poetry has more meaning than mere sexual pleasure. Eroticism In Cemal Süreya's poem, the subject, who was exiled through exile, is reunited with a home, a mother; In short, it is the longing to be inside. Both the poet's biography and his words and writings show us how exile and loss of mother give color and fragrance to the consciousness of the artist. In this study, we are based on the theses of C. G. Jung, who sees the mother archetype as one of the most basic archetypes of human beings, and Otto Rank, who sees birth as the first major trauma of human beings.
