Letters & Sounds Poems

Letters & Sounds is a multi-voiced selection of some of İlhan Berk's finest love poems, elegies and lyric prose. Brought into English by poet-translator George Messo, these poems dance and sing with the energy and experimental daring of their dazzling Turkish originals. 'Poets of our time in any language ignore Berk's poem-its treasure trove-at their own peril.' MURAT NEMET-NEJAT 'One of Turkish poetry's most distinctive and necessary voices.' WORLD LITERATURE TODAY
