Hasan İzzettin Dinamo

Poet

Born on January 1, 1909, in Trabzon, Hasan İzzettin Dinamo is one of the pioneers of contemporary Turkish poetry. He lost his father and older brother during World War I. The writer left Ankara Gazi Education Institute before completing his education and made a living by translating and giving private lessons, but he was persecuted by the oppressive governments of the period. Hasan İzzettin Dinamo made contributions to Turkish literature with a socialist worldview after meeting the poetry of the world-famous Turkish poet Nâzım Hikmet. He was held responsible for the events and the big explosions in Istanbul during the September 6–7 events and imprisoned. He was imprisoned for four years for mentioning workers' rights in his poem “Train.” He continued his revolutionary struggle in prisons and exile. He wrote countless poems, novels, and epics in prison. In addition to works of poetry such as Lighthouse, Karacaahmet Symphony, Exile Poems, Fight Poems, Freedom Song, Poems from Mapusanem, etc., he wrote volumes of books about Turkey's rebellion against imperialism and the Turkish War of Independence: Holy Rebellion (eight volumes, 1966-1968), Holy Peace (seven volumes, 1972-1976), and Years of Fire are some of them. The revolutionary master poet Hasan İzzettin Dinamo died on June 20, 1989, in Istanbul.
