A centennial volume, with previously unavailable poems, by Turkey's
greatest poet. Published in celebration of the poet's one hundredth
birthday, this exciting edition of the poems of the Nazim Hikmet
(1902-1963) collects work from his four previous selected volumes and adds more than twenty poems never
before available in English. The Blasing/Konuk translations, acclaimed
for the past quarter-century for their accuracy and grace, convey
Hikmet's compassionate, accessible voice with the subtle music,
innovative form, and emotional directness of the originals.
