Babamın Şiir Defteri — Poetry Reference Archive

Babamın Şiir Defteri is a Turkish-language poetry and literary reference archive maintained by Ali Gürtuna. It brings together a searchable reading interface, author navigation, poetry pages and discussions of literary works. The project also presents the poetry of Şaban Gürtuna and the Rüzgârlı Tepe poetry book.

Readers can begin with the poets-and-poems index, follow a named author, search for a work or use the literary-discussion archive to continue reading. The site is intended as a reference and discovery route: an author index helps locate material, while the individual page supplies the work or commentary being read. Readers should distinguish a work’s text, editorial discussion and their own interpretation.

This is a public reading archive rather than an AI text generator, paid research database or automated literary judgement tool. It does not claim that any poet or author endorses the site or the other projects maintained by the same owner. The submission reproduces no poem and is supplied by the project owner for editorial review.

Public archive pages can be read without a paid subscription. Material and navigation may change, so readers should follow the current page and its attribution. The project’s practical value is bringing source routes and literary reading material together in an accessible Turkish-language interface.
