The Intertextual Elements of Dilaver Cebeci's Poem "A Letter to a Prisoner in the Present Continuous Tense"

The intertextuality that was proposed and theorized in the second half of the nineteenth century is based on the idea that no text can have a single meaning and that each text will definitely be influenced by previous texts. In order to fully understand a text, it is important to identify the relationship of a text to other written/oral literary works, to other art branches, to the characteristics of the time when it is written, and to the history, culture, and faith of the society from which it came out. In this study, the intertextual elements of Dilaver Cebeci's poem "A Letter to a Prisoner in the Present Continuous Tense" have been identified. In the study, the data were collected using the document analysis method of qualitative research to create the conceptual framework, and to explain, interpret and understand findings. It has been concluded that, of the forms of intertextual relations, reference and allusion are often used, that it can form, through the forms of intertextual relations, an interdisciplinary relation with different disciplines that are non-literary, and that the sources which the artist uses can be reached by looking at the intertextual relations
