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.
