All These Things Aren'T Really Lost Av Ege Dundar

Ege Dündar is a young poet and activist from Turkey, forced to relocate to London and Berlin unable to return home for over seven years. His debut poetry collection, written in English, dives into the pain and longing that loss brings, contrasted by the beauty of all that has been found. Relating his experience with the struggle for human rights and a wider exodus of self-discovery, Dündar holds on to poetry ‘when a titanic darkness descends and lights shine through minuscule cracks.''‘Space unveiled ahead, a quietude akin to death, a blue cocoon behind, vacuumed, like the shelter that is a breath.’
