What the Crow Heard

The poems of İbrahim Karaca, who compiled his sources of inspiration from the social struggle in which he took part since his early youth, were deemed worthy of the 1985 Academy Bookstore Poetry Achievement Award, the 1986 New Folk Poetry Award and the 1989 İHD Denizli Poetry Award.

Many of his poems were composed by different artists, especially Grup Yorum, and were performed in concerts attended by tens of thousands of people. Karaca, who was concerned with the memory of humanity's adventure towards an egalitarian and exploitation-free future, always remained loyal to the memory and what it evoked.

While he adopted the pains of daily life and the problems of those "whose wounds dripping forest" as the main material of his poetry, he never forgot those who walked against the darkness "with a broken heart" for the sake of this noble cause. Karaca, who considers every revolutionary who has contributed to the social struggle as his comrade, continues to speak on behalf of "those who fell to the ground with an unfinished poem in their inner pocket" with his life and poetry.

Homeland and Rose brings together Karaca's four books that have reached the readers, as well as his poems that have never been published anywhere before.
