Paperback. An acclaimed writer in multiple genres as well as a journalist and academic, Karin Karakasli has repeatedly turned to poetry to chart complex emotional geographies both her own and those of her country, Turkey. Her highly cinematic poems are powered by music, metaphor and a fascination for the mechanics of language itself. Running through her work is a deeply held belief in the emancipatory potential of words. Following on from her 2019 chapbook History-Geography, this new selection brings together poems from Karakaslis 15-year career, vividly translated into English by translator and writer Canan Marasligil working with British poet Sarah Howe. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Following on from her 2019 chapbook History-Geography, this new selection brings together poems from Karakașlı’s 15-year career, vividly translated into English by translator and writer Canan Marașligil working with British poet Sarah Howe.
