He could not attend any schools, but managed to learn how to read and write with his elder brother’s help. A well known computer company named Dama Bilgisayar gave him a complete computer system included our switch access solution as a present, and he started writing poems and publishing them on the Net. Having read his poems, an unnamed girl got in touch with Kilic and an ‘online’ relationship started between the two. The young man carried on writing poems including those he wrote for his ‘cyber love’. Eventually, the youngster’s father gathered all his son’s poems, and published in a book called ‘My Inner Twinge’. ( Karma Books, January 2010 ISBN:9786054044825 )
