Garip

Garip (Turkish: strange, peculiar) was a group of Turkish poets. The group was also known as the First New Movement. It was composed of Orhan Veli, Oktay Rifat and Melih Cevdet, who had been friends since high school. The name "Garip" signalled a break with the conventional, decadent style of Turkish poetry and literature at the time. Garip poets used vernacular speech and surrealist elements in their poems.

They refuse admiting the molds of poetry and over-sensitivy .They defend articulatory beauty . IN 1941 Orhan Veli,M.Cevdet Anday and Oktay Rıfat refused over-sensitivy ın poetry stereotypes to articulatory and wrote ındıvidual poems and they brought them together ın GARİP.This name made the narrators wellknown and gained them a new ıdentity and brought a different kind ton Turkish poetry. They ıgnored every rule ın poetry and they gained ırregularity. Measure of the poem.rhyme and stanza are unrelated ,the free writing and poetry should be defended and expanded topics .They defend that the poetry can ınvolve everything. They showed that people can write a poetry about calluses which is a bad and disgusting..They transfered public words to poetry. They were ınconsistent and they collected a lot of responses.

The group made their mark with a 1941 joint poetry collection entitled Garip. After Veli's death in 1950, the two remaining friends developed their own individual styles and began to write novels and theater pieces as well. Rifat and Cevdet participated in the Second New Movement in following years.

The group's poems were published in a number of literary magazines, especially Varlık (Existence) and Yaprak (Leaf). Varlık still exists as a nationally-distributed magazine; Yaprak, however, was a literary magazine that was just a bundle of a few pages prepared, edited, and distributed by the Garip poets until the sudden death of Orhan Veli at the age of thirty-six.

Unfortunately this stream’s ımportance has been conprehended ın last years.They specified their aims ın their book’’GARİP’’. Unfortunately whoever followed Gairp stream became poor and died ın bad ways. They usually died alone .
