Abstract

This article will reveal how the issue of femininity and immigration is handled in a Middle Eastern society through the texts of two of the young generation poets of contemporary Turkish poetry published in digital media.The first of the poets in the article, Yaprak Damla Yıldırım -an immigrant- writes about her own experiences. Yaprak Damla Yıldırım turns her feminist activism into a literary action by publishing her poems in a Turkish digital magazine called Cin Ayşe. The other poet, Mihrap Aydın, reveals the connection between herself and the upper generation women in her family with immigration. Through these two poets, the chronological relationship of immigration trauma will be investigated and the narrative memory left from grandmothers to grandchildren will be examined.
