Ferruh Tunc (1 results)

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Tunç Ayna (Bronze Mirror) is the third poetry collection by acclaimed Turkish poet Ferruh Tunç, a key voice in contemporary Turkish literature whose work bridges modernist inquiry with linguistic archaeology. First published in 2012 by Sözcükler Yayınları as part of its Turkish Poetry series, the volume explores memory, travel, identity, and ethical witness through spare, resonant lyric structures. Tunç's poems move deliberately between the personal and the historical, foregrounding the moral weight of language itself. Physically, this is a highly attractive first edition, featuring a striking minimalist cover design by Besim Dalgıç and printed on quality paper stock typical of Sözcükler's better literary titles. The book retains the original Turkish Ministry of Culture holographic banderol on the rear cover, confirming authorized first-issue commercial distribution. A Near Fine example of a modern Turkish poetry title that is increasingly scarce outside Turkey, particularly in this condition. An excellent candidate for collectors of world poetry, Turkish literature in translation contexts, or Sözcükler first printings.
