The Logic of Poetic Thought in Sezai Karako？

Poets speak in the language of aesthetics in which the images have come to life, which contrry to the scientists who think and speak with concepts. While the logic of conceptual thinking has taken the compliance with the order of things, self-consistency and being provable as the basic principles; the logic of poetic thinking has aimed to describe the existence and truth apart from all of the pre-mentioned principles. Keeping this in mind, we will try to analyze and understand the logic of poetic thoughts of Sezai Karako？ who is one of the pioneering poets of today. The following couplet in his poem titled “Little Na’t” will take place in the focus of this research: “My reason is a new reason of flowers / My logic is the new one above logic.” Here, the poet expresses his endeavor to discover a new way of thinking or a new type of logic. This new logic, which he himself has formulated with the word “Resurrection/Dirilis？”, is based on the idea of a new “revival” that comes to life after the death of all existing modes of thinking. New logic of Karako？ is clearer and more active than the classic logic. In fact, in his poetic thought, every poem exists by its own logic. In other words, every poem gives birth to its own special logic. Accordingly, the new logic that Karako？ brought about is not a single, fixed, and detectable thinking manner. However, it cannot be concluded that this way of thinking has emerged in a contradictory, inconsistent, or entirely surreal manner. In this paper, we will try to examine the “new logic” of Sezai Karako？ expressed in his poetry, by comparing it with the logic developed by the conceptual thinking
