Necatigil, Behçet 

Born Oct. 1, 1916, in Istanbul. Turkish poet.

In 1940, Necatigil graduated from the department of language and literature of the Higher Pedagogical School in Istanbul. Since 1941 he has taught literature. His works first appeared in print in 1935.

Necatigil’s poetry is socially oriented: he writes about the hard life of Turkish workers. The poetry collection Divançe (1965) is a protest against war.
