Poet (b. 1922 - d. 3 July 1946, Zonguldak). He spent his childhood years in different cities
around
His poems were
published in the local literary review Kara
Elmas, published by the Public House in Zonguldak and in Varlık. He felt that he would not live
long, so he was very productive in the last six years of his life. Therefore,
he hastily collected his poems in a book and published his only book with the
title Şimdilik (Just for Now) in
1945. His namesake and friend Muzaffer Soysal wrote a long introductory
foreword in this work. This was the first and last book of a young poet of only
twenty-three. Some of these poems were written at high school. It is natural
that these poems, written in his youth and influenced by Orhan Veli, exhibit
his inexperience with lines that do not click into place. However, Muzaffer
Tayyip’s clear language and sentimental discourse attracts the attention of
readers immediately.
Ten years after
his death, all his poems and articles about him were collected in a book with
the title Muzaffer Tayyip Uslu, by
Necati Cumalı.
