EMİN BÜLEND’İN ŞİİR ANLAYIŞI

Servet-i Fünûn topluluğunun dağılışından sonra onun yerini alan Fecr-i Âti Encümeni geniş bir şair ve yazar kadrosuna sahiptir. Özellikle Fecr-i Âti şiiri, Servet-i Fünûn şiir estetiğinin bir devamı gibidir. Gerek Servet-i Fünûn, gerekse Fecr-i Âti şairlerinde, "sembolist ve empresyonist" etkiler kendini açıkça belli eder. Ayrıca bu etkilerin yanında, onların şiirlerinde devrin siyasi ve sosyal ortamından kaynaklanan içe kapanma, kötümserlik ve yalnızlık duyguları da hâkimdir. Fecr-i Âti Encümeni içinde Ahmet Haşim, Emin Bülend ve Tahsin Nahit şiirleriyle dikkat çeken şairlerdir. Modern Türk şiirinin kurucuları arasında yer alan Ahmet Haşim, şiir poetikası ile kendinden sonraki nesilleri de etkiler. Bu etkinin yansımaları, Emin Bülend'in "çöl nostaljisi" manzumeleri ile ferdi duyuş tarzındaki şiirlerinde de görülür. Kendisi, Fecr-i Âti Encümeni içinde yer alan diğer şairlerden farklı olarak manzumelerinde "millî romantik duyuş tarzı"na yönelir. O, bu yönelişle Türk gençliğinde, bir tarih bilinci ve millî "kimlik inşası" oluşturmayı amaçlar. Balkan Savaşı'na gönüllü katılan şair, manzumelerini destansı bir etkiyle yazar. Onun destansı manzumelerinde kadim bir milletin tarihi anlatılır. Aslında Emin Bülend, bununla memleketin içinde bulunduğu kaotik ortamda, Türk gençliğine yeni bir heyecan duygusu aşılamak ister. Hamasi manzumelerinde Tevfik Fikret ve Namık Kemal'in etkisinde kalan Emin Bülend, bu tarz şiirlerinde doğal bir lirik akış sağlar. İçe kapanık bir kişilik sergileyen şair, sağlığında şiirlerini bir araya getirip yayımlamaz. Salih Zeki Aktay, şairin ölümünden sonra dergilerde dağınık hâlde bulunan şiirlerini kitaplaştırır. Bu çalışmada, Emin Bülend'in şiir anlayışı üzerinde duruldu

EMİN BÜLEND’S VIEW OF POETRY

In this group, while it is not possible to see a full harmony, important progresses in art and literature is made individually.

His epic poems tell about history of an old nation. This nation is Turkish nation who have comte to Anatolia form moorlands of Central Asia. In fact Emin Bülend wants to create a new excitement for Turkish youth in a chaotic environment of the homeland. To this end, he benefits from lyricism. Lyricism provides a naturel flow in his epic senses. Emin Bülend, a precise poet, is not productive. With this aspect, he identifies with Tevfik Fikret and with his epic poems he reminds of Namık Kemal. He is also an important sportsman, being among founders of Galatasaray Club.

Emin Bülend has started to write his poems while he was student in Galatasaray High School. His first poems reflected his inner world of his youth. The heavier and suffocative air of political environment prior to 2nd Constitutionalism affected all young people. As a result, an apparent pessimism was seen in these people of the era. Such feeling also reflected to the poems of the era, negatively. Emin Bülend moved towards the nature to move away from this suffocative air. He was affected by the “Deserts” poem of Ahmet Haşim. He wrote the “Deserts” poem as parallel to Haşim’. The poem consisting of a hundred and twelve verses describes the sorrow, loneliness and gloomy desert nights. The poet wrote the “Hacer and İsmail” poem under the effect of “Zemzem” anecdote. In this poem, he expressed the decisiveness, patience, will and devotion for the power of belief. He also took the attention of the audience with his lyric, epic and satiric poems. Emin Bülend published his poems in the magazines Servet-i Fünûn, Musavver Muhit and Âşiyan following the 2nd Constitutionalism.

He, likewise, interprets the nature in his inner world and re-define with his artistic spirit. The poems of Emin Bülend on nature: Deserts, Hacer and İsmail, Negative, In Darkness, Space of Imagine, Winter Night. There is an apparent lyricism in the poems of the poet on the individual. He meets with Ahmet Haşim and Tahsin Nahid in that particular point. However, in his epic poems, he is at different point.

Emin Bülend is known as a meticulous poet. Together with some metre and rhyme defects in his poems, he cares the poem so much. He prefers to write concisely rather than many. On account of some character problems, he cannot reach a large number of audiences. That is why he did not consider uniting his poems in a book. Emin Bülend wrote a Moonlight in Spring as a prose despite he is known with his poems. This study aimed to define the aesthetic and characteristics of Emin Bülend‘s poems to introduce him to the readers of poem and literature in general.
