Poet. She was born in
Her first poem İki Yarası Yalnızlığın was published in Çağıltı magazine (
“Suna Aras, mostly discourses on
hope and love. These are her favorite themes. Without any doubt, she never
delays the social problems such as freedom, extra judicial executions, lost
people and bruised kids. But she puts emphasize on hope and love.”
(Vecihi Timuroğlu)
“Even in the most personal poem of
her, traces and sections from social and political life exist. She skillfully
establishes a bond between individual and whole, and she makes this as it is a
part of poem and it is not easy to find this kind of poets in this “postmodern”
era of our time. Suna Aras represents a harmony between herself and her poems
with this characteristic of her.” (Adnan Yücel)
