Publisher Description: Poetry. Winner of the Meral Divitçi Prize for Turkish Poetry in Translation. One of three poets constituting the pivotal Garip movement in Turkish poetry, [... later] Anday turned to the West, particularly to the Modernists. His poetry until the nineteen-seventies is often philosophical. The translators Sidney Wade and Efe Murad have an exquisite ear for the elegant formality of these poems, in which their meditative aura is tinged with surrealist images. In the nineteen-eighties, Anday turned away from the Apollonian meditations of the earlier poems, tinged with surrealist images, to the eroticism and quotidian world of Turkish folk poetry and to the archaic Gilgamesh epic. In their raw power these poems are highlights of Wade and Murad's book, making it a must-read.--Murat Nemet-Nejat
