Edited by Mel Kenne, Saliha Paker and Caroline Stockford A remarkable new selection from the preeminent Turkish poet, Haydar Ergulen The poetry of Haydar Ergulen unquestionably draws upon and expresses many of the basic forces that continue to shape Turkish culture and literature; however, as with most of the best poetry produced anywhere, its central focus is the common, down- to-earth concerns of humanity itself. At the core of Ergulen's work is the pervasive sense of poetry-writing as an inseparable part of life: that the co-existence of poetry, goodness and love is indispensable to the poet as a human being. The poems have been translated by Mel Kenne, Saliha Paker, Caroline Stockford, Arzu Akbatur, Goekcenur celebioglu, Nilgun Dungan, Arzu Eker Roditakis, Clifford Endres, Idil Karacadag, Elizabeth Pallitto, Selhan Savcigil Endres, Ipek Seyalioglu, and Sehnaz Tahir Gurcaglar.
