Necip Fazıl, one of the most important figures of Turkish literature, is a poet who has reached fame at a young age and has attracted attention from different circles until his death. But with this, existential concerns and perpetual crises that he has experienced throughout his life have led him to feel lonely and to suffer this loneliness. In this article, Necip Fazil’s approach to loneliness was taken up in three different phases and the traces of his loneliness in his poems were examined.
