|
|
Nazim Hikmet was born on January 15, 1902 in Salonika, Ottoman |
|
Empire (now Thessalon�ki, Greece), where his father served in |
|
the Foreign Service. He was exposed to poetry at an early age |
|
through his artist mother and poet grandfather, and had his |
|
first poems published when he was seventeen. |
|
|
|
aised in |
|
Istanbul, Hikmet left Allied-occupied Turkey after the First |
|
World War and ended up in Moscow, where he attended the |
|
university and met writers and artists from all over the world. |
|
After the Turkish Independence in 1924 he returned to Turkey, |
|
but was soon arrested for working on a leftist magazine. He |
|
managed to escape to Russia, where he continued to write plays |
|
and poems. |
|
|
 |
n 1928 a general amnesty allowed Hikmet to return |
|
to Turkey, and during the next ten years he published nine books |
|
of poetry�five collections and four long poems�while working as |
|
a proofreader, journalist, scriptwriter, and translator. He left |
|
Turkey for the last time in 1951, after serving a lengthy jail |
|
sentence for his radical acts, and lived in the Soviet Union and |
|
eastern Europe, where he continued to work for the ideals of |
|
world Communism. |
|
|
|
fter receiving early recognition for his |
|
patriotic poems in syllabic meter, he came under the influence |
|
of the Russian Futurists in Moscow, and abandoned traditional |
|
forms while attempting to �depoetize� poetry. |
|
|
|
any of his |
|
works have been translated into English, including<i>Human |
|
Landscapes from My Country: An Epic Novel in |
|
Verse</i>(2009),�<i>Things I Didn�t Know I |
|
Loved</i>�(1975),�<i>The Day Before Tomorrow</i>�(1972),�<i>The |
|
Moscow Symphony</i>�(1970), and<i>Selected Poems</i>�(1967). In |
|
1936 he published�<i>Seyh Bedreddin destani</i>�(�The Epic of |
|
Shaykh Bedreddin�) and<i>Memleketimden insan |
|
manzaralari</i>�(�Portraits of People from My Land�). |
|
|
|
ikmet |
|
died of a heart attack in Moscow in 1963. The first modern |
|
Turkish poet, he is recognized around the world as one of the |
|
great international poets of the twentieth century. |
