Overview
With witty wordplay and evocative language, this new poetry collection portrays Istanbul, the poet’s home city, as a crossroads of culture on par with any international capital. The oddities of place and people lead readers away from the mundane and immerse them in an unfamiliar yet humane culture that the West is veering nearer to regarding as irrevocably “other.”
Reviews
