Personification of the non-human as symbols of love in Attila Ilhan’s poetry

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is twofold: first, to introduce the renowned Turkish poet Attila İlhan to foreign readers and to highlight İlhan’s significance as a uniquely modernist, social realist and an ecclectic poet who managed to bring into Turkish poetry innovative styles, language use, romanticism and creative expressions; secondly, to display how a poet of such qualities used symbols in his poetry by the help of language, to evoke sensations, states of mind, individual troubles and fears and love, along with a subtle presentation of social awareness and the dilemmas of the modern man in this chaotic and misty universe.
