Özet: Although the books reflecting the influence of spiritualism have been published in Turkish Literature at the beginning of the 20th century, since Amâk-ı Hayal by Filibeli Ahmet Hilmi, books have been published in line with the mysticism movement, which is perceived with an interpretation over Islam, rather than the the ones defending spiritualism in the sense of world literature. As known, Allan Kardec, who started experimental spiritism in the 19th century, conducted experiments on phenomena such as reincarnation, communication with spirits, and summoning spirits. With these experiments, Spiritism first spread to Europe as a mystical movement (Castellan, 1967). Turkish poets who follow Islam, on the other hand, have kept a distance from the spiritualism movement, which clings to a spiritistic point of view. In Samiha Ayverdi’s and Peyami Safa’s novels, and poems of Ahmet Haşim and Asaf Hâlet, signs of mysticism were seen, but the understanding of the soul in a spiritualistic base was almost never handled in our literary history. In this sense, it is important to publish books that can be the subject of academic studies as a source book and contribute to fields such as spiritualism and trans-poetry in Turkish literature. For this reason, the book titled Poems from Inner Life, published by Lakin Yayınları, has been the subject of this review, and Spiritualism, the trans-poem idea through Lizzie Doten’s poetry and the effect of Edgar Allen Poe in Doten’s poems have been emphasized in this work.
