Between Love and Freedom…

The reader is meticulous and curious. When you read a genuine literary text, the Author becomes the center of attention of the reader as much as the text itself. The author/poet, who named his book "Elegy for Fallen Love" as if he "felt" this, rejected the name written on his identity card for many years and chose the name "Mem". Appropriating the name "Mem" based on the Epic of Mem û Zîn, which is at the top of Traditional Kurdish Literature , is actually like the first caller of what the Lament for Fallen Love means!
Keeping love in the background in all its aspects; Seeking freedom is a person's concentrated effort to renew himself as a human being.
Freeing “Love” from its traditional background and kneading it with “Freedom”!
Then, "Lament for Fallen Love", an epic that blends both eternal and literary concepts into its fight, belief, and even its philosophical and even mythological world...
For this reason, in the words of the poet / writer;
“What's the use of LOVE if you don't know separation, / FREEDOM if you don't know captivity!”
If you don't know, it's actually not worth talking about...
For this reason, Lament for Fallen Love is the literary text of the literary readings of the world of political captivity or imprisonment that lasted for many years (20 years) and its persistent belief and loyalty to life…
