Turkologist Olga Virnyk

The book contains translations of selected poems of the 'Five syllabic poets' (Beş hececiler), their biographies, and samples of original works. It aims to familiarize readers with the figures of the Hece-poets and the factors that influenced their creativity.

The 'Five syllabic poets' (Beş hececiler)  introduced both dynamic depictions of events and subtle emotional perceptions of reality into poetry, leaving behind a specific vocabulary through which we can now explore the moods, worldview characteristics of this group, and particularly their influence on contemporary Turkish speakers.

For Turkology students, teachers, translators, researchers, and a wide range of readers.
