Divan

Poems that transform tradition by Turgut Uyar Divan

One day on the Muş-Tatvan road, what is your evening?
there always weeds, puberties bleed

If you grow bigger and bigger on a path we walk hand in hand
A very old place inside me that has waited a long time bleeds

Yapı Kredi Publications continues to publish separate books of the masters who created our modern poetry. Turgut Uyar's sixth book, Divan, is one of the unique books of Turkish poetry in the context of retelling a contemporary content with the patterns of the divan poetry tradition. Turgut Uyar, who seeks to transform tradition rather than benefit from it, does this with a mastered poetic intuition and skill.

Divan meets its readers with a new separate edition, 49 years after its first edition in 1970.
