The popularity of Yunus Emre, who is often referred to as the
Turkish national poet, has endured for six centuries. Yunus is the
most important representative of early Turkish mysticism; he can be
considered the founder of Alevi-Bektasi literature, and his
influence on later "tekke" poetry was enormous. His "ilahis"
(hymns) have played an important role in sufi ceremonies. Grace
Martin Smith's translation of Yunus's poetry will acquaint the
non-Turkish reader with the art and thinking of one of Turkey's
most significant poets and will be helpful to students of both
modern and Ottoman Turkish and to all those interested in Islamic
poetry and piety.
