Space is very important for literature. Space plays a vital role not only in narrative texts but also in poems. There are many works written on the steppe, which is one of the important place images for ancient Turkish history as well as Turkish poetry. The poets treat the steppe as the mirror of their souls, the repository of their memories and the square of their lives. In fact, the steppe geography, which is full of impossibilities, is always praised by the poets because it makes the people living on it resistant and ideal with its aspects similar to the nature of life. In the poems of Ahmet Muhip Dıranas, one of the important poets of the Turkish field, and Mukağali Makatayev, one of the important poets of Kazakh literature, there are significant similarities in the view of the steppe, which has an important place in Turkish cultural life. It is remarkable that the two names, who are close to each other in terms of their understanding of poetry, describe and describe the steppe as an ideal and livable place due to its nature as a homeland, homeland, homeland, contrary to reality. Considering the time they lived, it is known that both of them live in cities that can be regarded as the opposite of the natural environment in which they were born and grew up. Both poems, which describe the steppe with a utopian perspective, are actually written with a sense of historical and retrospective base. Although there are distances between them based on the poems, it is very important that the two poets at the two ends of the Turkish geography deal with the steppe, the characteristic geography of Turkish history, with similar expressions as if they agreed with each other.
