Translated by Istanbul-based Irish translator Neil P Doherty, this compact, dual-language introduction to contemporary Turkish poetry gathers a selection of work by eight of its most celebrated and engaging voices to provide a primer to what has been called “one of the richest and yet least known veins of literary ore in the world”. The featured poets are: Cevat Çapan, Mehmet Taner, Lale Müldür, Mustafa Köz, Elif Sofya, Birhan Keskin, Gökçenur Ç. and Gonca Özmen.
