Intertextual elements contribute to increasing the depth of meaning in literary texts through their associations with present and past texts produced by different authors in the literary world. In G & eacute;rard Genette's terms, they bring together a palimpsest writing, entailing references that are either highlighted or unwittingly removed from literary texts. This study aims to demonstrate how Genette's concept of intertextuality is reflected in Pelin Batu's self-translated poems with examples from The Book of Winds / R & uuml;zgarlar Kitab & imath; (2009), The Divan of Lost Things / Kay & imath;p & Scedil;eyler Divan & imath; (2015) and It All Began with a Story / Her & Scedil;ey Bir Hikaye ile Ba & scedil;lad & imath; (2018). This study comprises three parts. The first part discusses Genette's approach to intertextuality in depth, while the second part focuses on the debates regarding translation, self-translation, and intertextuality in translation studies. The third part tries to show how intertextuality has turned into a poetic rewriting strategy in Pelin Batu's aforementioned works. In conclusion, it has been determined that Pelin Batu, as a Turkish poet, enriches her poems through intertextuality as a rewriting strategy with quotations, allusions and borrowing from various figures of literature, visual arts, art history, philosophy, and science.
