SARAH KIRSCH’İN ŞİİRLERİNDE TABİAT BETİMLEMESİ
Although she has produced works of different literary genres, Sarah Kirsch (1935-), one of the most important female writers of contemporary German literature, is most known for her poetry. Having received many literary awards, Kirch, who started her writing career in East-Germany, has pursued a writing career in West-Germany since 1977. Although the poet states that her literary production has not been affected by the periods she lived through under different regimes, this effect is constantly evident in the underlying structure of her poems. "Small object" (kleine Gegenstand), what Germanists call to describe everyday things, and the things around the poet constitute the subject of her poems. The main fabric of her poetry, on the other hand, is nature. This is reflected in her poetry in a naive style that rejects any kind of enthusiasm. The element of nature rooted in the poet's biography has greatly influenced his literary personality. Her poetry, remote from simple imagery, is a composition with natural imagery and has a deep symbolic level. Her poetry, remote from simple imagery, is a composition with natural imagery and has a deep structure at symbolic level. The poet's curiosity about the natural sciences, as in her many poems, is based on the representation of nature which will be touched upon in this article with the poems "Von meinem Haus" (From my House), "Bei den weissen Stiefmutterchen" (By the White Pansies), "Die Wiese (The Meadow) and "Cat Life" (Katzenleben). However, these representations are metaphoric and symbolic structures that describe the Nature-Human integration as an ideal, which is beyond the attribution of a plain view of nature.
