Vera's Kiss

Riitta Cankoçak was born in Finland. After traveling between the languages and places of the world for a long time, he surrendered to his passion for poetry and started writing poetry. He learned Turkish. His first poetry book, Migratory Bird, was published in 2004. Later, two more poetry books were published in Finland and Turkey. He started writing a column because of the concerns created by the chaotic situation of the world. He currently lives in Turkey, among sculpture and poetry.


"Riitta's book captures its reader in a dimension where perception gradually deepens. In existence, how we encounter plant and animal life, how we share time and space, how the universe It tells us how we embrace the greatness of life in our own lives. This perceptual openness constantly violates the usual order of sociality and draws thought to the invisible."
