Abstract

The evolition , the change and the metamorphosis process of a literary school or social mentality depend on place and human element ,of course, the conditions of these.So the place and the social conditions ,belonging to that period ,have an important role in the formation and the differentiation of the political and sociological movement.The socialist poetry concept of the new generation poets ,who occured in our country after 1950s ,is correlated with this.Talip Apaydın is one of these who reflects the truth of village and peasant in the context of the place and the human element, in their poems .Talip Apaydın(1926-2014) is the prominent of the socialist realistic movement ; who also expresses Anatolias’ rural geography with its troubles in his poems as in his novels , stories , memories and his plays. Describing what was seen and recognized by the artist realistically is the main factor in the socialist concept which has affected every aspects of literature and art with poetry.With this mentalitiy , Apaydın also deals village and town environments , human relationships with descriptions of the nature in its own naturalness in his poems as well as his stories and novels.Apaydın , starting the literature with the socialist poems , has two poetry books called “Susuzluk”(1952) and “Kırsal Sancı(1999). The poems in this works are the explanation of the perception about the villages and the towns in Anatolia after 1950, and the people living in there. Although the place expressed in the poems is the regions ,where the artist knows very well like Polatlı ,Eskişehir , Beypazarı ; it actually reflects the general view of backwoods in Anatolia of that term. Apaydın describes his works with the perspective of a peasant , not with the perspective of a townsman unlike other poets in the previous term. So in his works ; the auditory , sentimental and olfaction images have more priority rather than visual images. The described backwoods is not the ideal backwoods of the republican ideology.The problem highlighted about the backwoods in this context, is the poverty of the people in rural , experienced social inequalities , administrative and class contradictions.
