- Abstract
Whether to change the places of words in a good poem, or to omit words from it or not has been debated throughout the history of literature. By referring to the unity of poetry, names such as Yahya Kemal Beyatlı, Ahmet Haşim, Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar and Behçet Necatigil put forward that it is impossible to change any little part of a good, complete poem. According to them, a poem loses its value as a good one when the place of only one word is changed. On the other hand, the history of Turkish literature has frequently seen the cases when a poet changes poems by other poets. In fact, poets such as Yahya Kemal and Behçet Necatigil who think that it is impossible to change a poem have tried to correct poems by others. The reason behind this effort can sometimes be either to gain a poetical dominance over the other poet or to give some friendly advice. In this article, the changes done in poems by other poets in Turkish poetry are going to be problematise through two examples. The examples mentioned are the changes done by Hüseyin Cöntürk in Edip Cansever's 'Swing' and by Hayriye Ünal in Cahit Zarifoğlu's 'In the Meaning of Head Down Mouth Closed Eyes Bloodshot' poems. Both of the poets create new poems out of the ones in hand by omitting some words and combining the rest with similar techniques. Nevertheless, Cöntürk and Ünal put forward different aims while rewriting these poems by reducing them. While Cöntürk makes his criticism perception concrete on Cansever's poem, Ünal embarks on an esthetical challenge through Zarifoğlu's poem. In the article, Cansever and Zarifoğlu's poems will be named as hypotext, Cöntürk and Ünal's new poems created by omitting the words in the aforementioned poems will be called as hypertext, and the cases in which both of the texts are in the same place and the relationship between them will be named as palimpsest.
