Turkish society has raised master poets by giving importance to literature in almost every period of history. Literary products bearing the mindset of the era in which they were created also present to us the world of culture, faith and civilization of the era. In particular, the folk poets, who are introspective with social life, have created works suitable for the pleasure and feeling of the society in which they are raised and have provided permanence. Cönks, who are at the forefront of the written sources of folk literature, are seen as important documents in which poets record their works. Cönk, which has a different importance because it carries the poems of more than one poet in it, has the characteristic of meeting point of different literary trends, different periods of Turkish literature and many content rich with information that occasionally comes out of literature.

In this respect, the cönk, which has been subjected to examination, has a rich and varied content. Short biographies of the identified poets will be examined in the general framework. It is seen that the literary conception of the poets who have poems in Cönk combined with the Sufi thought of the lodge in the understanding of Alevism culture and belief and contain a wide range of information around this subject.
