Sufic contents in Asaf Halet Çelebi's poems

Turkish literature, which has an ancient tradition, met with Sufism after the Turks converted to Islam, and in this direction, many authors from past to present have shaped their works in the context of Sufism. Asaf Halet Çelebi, one of the poets of the early Republican literature, is one of the important figures of our literature with his unique character and intellectual style. He synthesized East-West cultures in the person of Çelebi and became a bridge between tradition and innovation in the process of change in his period. Stating that the basic building blocks of his works are mystical and mystical elements, Çelebi included mystical content with an artistic style in his poems. In this respect, our study consists of investigating the mystical elements seen in Turkish literature from the first period in general terms and examining the mystical content in the poems of Asaf Halet Çelebi, one of the poets of the early Republican literature.
