Abstract
Asaf Hâlet Çelebi, not being involved in any poetic movement, was
considered to be “odd” or “extraordinary” in his time, and is still widely seen as
such today. Due to the difference and peculiarity of his poetry, he was widely
criticized and little appreciated. Studies of Asaf Hâlet Çelebi have mostly
concentrated on the mystic elements used in his poetry. Elements that have been
particularly focused upon have been the elements he acquired from Eastern culture
and Islamic mysticism, the expressions from older civilizations that are commonly
seen in his poetry, his direct use of phrases in diverse languages, and his allusions
and references to a multiplicity of different texts. More recent studies of Asaf Hâlet
Çelebi have pointed out his frequent use of fable, yet have done no more than point
out his use of fable motifs and move on; no extensive research on the subject has
been done thus far. In this study, however, it is the relationship between Asaf Hâlet
Çelebi’s poetry and the fantastic that will be examined. “Abstraction”, the guiding
principle of Çelebi’s poetry, will be examined in terms of its effect on “liminality”.
Ultimately, it is the fantastic which emerges from or is approached in Çelebi’s
poetry that is examined.
