The famous poet, who guides today's youth with his poems and is known for his unusual syntax, the importance he gives to image and integrity, has written diaries, novels, essays and theater works as well as poetry and children's books. Cahit Zarifoğlu also wrote a column for Milli Gazete and Yeni Devir.
Poet and writer Cahit Zarifoğlu was commemorated at his grave in the 34th year of his death. The program, which was held at the tombs of Zarifoğlu and the then-Van Mufti's father-in-law Kasım Arvas, in the Küplüce Cemetery, started with the recitation of the Holy Quran and prayers.
Former Minister of National Education Nabi Avcı said in a statement to members of the press that they met with Zarifoğlu's fans, friends, friends and readers at his grave on the occasion of the anniversary of his death.
Expressing that Cahit Zarifoğlu is a "poet-i maderzad", meaning "born poet", Avcı said:
"His poetry was not an 'intellectual' poem, not a poem adorned with 'intellectual' references. But it was very bright poetry. Today, I am sure that especially young people who love poetry will take great tastes from Cahit Zarifoğlu's poetry. For this reason, I would like to remind the readers, young people, mothers, fathers, teachers, on this occasion, especially today, that he wrote both his poems and other works for children."
