“Our poet has a wide range of reading fields such as memories, religions, beliefs, nations, and social structure researches. But he always kept his identity as a poet and was remembered this way people around him. He was almost known as a poet more than as he was a lawyer. Ihsan Biçici kept one of his identities too: being a follower of Fikret. Since his early years as teenager he was an admirer of Tevfik Fikret’s poems and perspective of life and it specified the second name of İhsan’s: İhsan Fikret.” (Remzi Inanç)

“Okuma coğrafyası olabildiğince zengindir şairimizin; anılar, dinler, inançlar, uluslar, toplumsal yapı araştırmaları gibi. Ama hep şair kimliğini korudu ve öyle anıldı çevresinde. Neredeyse hukukçuluk yönünden çok bu yönüyle tanındı. Bir kimliğini daha korudu İhsan Biçici: Fikret’çilik. İlk gençliğinden beri tutkuyla bağlandığı, özümsediği Tevfik Fikret’in şiir ve dünya görüşü İhsan’ın ikinci adını daha belirledi: İhsan Fikret.” (Remzi İnanç
