The Literary Reputation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A poet is created by many elements such as hard work, intelligence, heart, soul and persistence. A poet`s reputation depends upon these as well as advertising and sales skills and getting through the readers who count. In this article, I tried to find out what makes a good reputation for a poet, so I started to analyze many elements around the poet / poetry, based on socio-literature, with questions such as: who is the poet? When did he/she start to write? And how long did he/she keep on writing? What is the relationship between him/her and the readers on one hand, and the critics on the other hand? What is the real effect that criticism can have on the poet`s history (for or against him)? What is the value of a poem? And does this value last forever or not? How does a poet publish his/her poems? What is the main role of good literary tricks, or devices, and can these play to achieve a good reputation for a poet? What is the literary atmosphere surrounding the poet? What way do the editors use to introduce a poet or a poem? Through these questions and many others, and after giving many examples from different cultures, I tried to touch the secret box of literary reputation. Sometimes, I felt as if I had really found out this secret, some other times I felt the opposite. Nevertheless, this was a fulfilling work trying to approach the heavens of poetry.
