Ülkü Tamer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ülkü Tamer (born February 20, 1937 in Gaziantep ; † April 1, 2018 in Bodrum ) was a Turkish poet , narrator and literary translator.

Ülkü Tamer attended the renowned Robert College in Istanbul and graduated in 1958. This was followed by a visit to Gazetecilik Enstitüsü , the Istanbul Institute for Journalism. In addition to his work as a poet, Tamer was also active as an actor, publisher and newspaper editor, editor and translator. From around 1954 he wrote poems which, as Gero von Wilpert noted, work with “surprising images”. They are to be assigned to the “ second new ” in Turkish poetry, a counter-movement to the so-called “first new” group of poets, the Garip .

In addition to numerous volumes of poetry from 1959 onwards, Tamer also published a volume of short stories. Of his translations (selection: Brothers Grimm , Peter Weiss , Lermontow , Steinbeck , Wilde , Aitmatov , Chekhov , Hemingway or Edith Hamilton's Mythology ), the one of the novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone entitled Harry Potter ve felsefe taşı should be emphasized.
