I've Learned Some Things

I've Learned Some Things allows English-language readers the rare opportunity to experience the work of Ataol Behramoglu, one of Turkey's most celebrated poets. The sixty-six poems in this collection span the author's extraordinary career and are stunning examples of the intense emotional quality of his work. Behramoglu celebrates the rich fabric of everyday life by exploring both personal and social struggles, sometimes employing a whimsical tone. Walter G. Andrews's skillful translation conveys the vibrancy of Behramoglu's work to an English-language audience, and this bilingual edition allows Turkish-language readers to follow the original text.
