@article{2017,title={THE THOUGHT OF DEATH IN THE POEMS OF CEMAL SUREYA},abstractNode={Death and the thought of death continuously occupy the human mind since they are unavoidable phenomena. While human beings sometimes perceive death, which is full of obscurity, in the form of annihilation; they sometimes accept it as a start of a new and eternal life. Death, whose meaning changes from person to person and from culture to culture, is one of the most important themes of art and literature since it is an absolute destiny. As an universal theme, death also emerges within the poems of Cemal Süreya who is one of the pioneer figures of the Second New Movement; but death is a phenomenon which should be avoided and which creates uneasiness for him. Thus Süreya doesn’t handle the theme of death with a metaphysical approach. In some of his poems, he evaluates death with its personal, social and universal dimensions while in others he takes it ironically. As a matter of the fact when he treats the theme of death, he also emphasizes his conduct of life.},author={Gonca ARKON TEKİNEL},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
