Cahit Külebi’s work ” A New Year’s Eve” is a poem that he writes in mid or late 20th century but this is a poem that still widely read and maintaining its permenance. Cahit Külebi, who generally writes his poems in a lyrical and emotional tone, tells us in this work about the joy of living and that we should never despair, no matter how diffucult a stage of life we are in also in his poem he navigates the delicate balance between nostalgia and hope, blending the melancholy of farewells with the anticipation of new begginings. If I were to put my feelings into a picture, I would think of a place that is snowy but adorned with colorful lights because of A New Year’ s Eve.
But I noticed that Cahit Külebi is actually in a contradiction with himself, and while he talks about hope and joy of life in his poetry, we also see pessimism in all it is reality in this work. But I liked this poem very much because there are some conflicting thouths like Cahit Külebi’ s other poems so we can see little breezes from Cahit Külebi’ s other poetries but readers may find themselvs too in this poem I think. Cahit Külebi ‘s A New Year’ s Eve poem stands as a testament to the universality of emotions and I see some offering solace and inspiration as individuals stand at the threshold of a new chapter in their lives. I think we can easily find something from ourselves and something about the life we had in all Cahit Külebi poems. His works sometimes make us laugh and sometimes makes us sad. We encounter this contradiction in his other works, for example, Why Did You Come in 47? In this poem, while he expressed his hopes for the future, he also deeply affected his readers with the pessimistic world he lived in his own mind and his melancholic atmosphere. If I had to sum up everything I said, I was also impressed by Cahit Külebi’s lines from the poem titled A New Year’ s Eve, which will remind us of who we are and enable us to find traces of our own lives. I also really liked the meloncholic but realistic thougths in his poems. I can’t wait to read Cahit Külebi’ s other works.
