James Lovett (Author)

Available from these sellers.

Book Description

Publication Date: March 2001

The English text of each poem is presented next to the Turkish translation by Coskun Yerli.

This book belongs to one place: the Bosphorus, the Marmara and the Black Sea. There are excursions elsewhere: sojourns among Lotus-eaters, voyages with Phaeceans, like passages of dreams through sleep; but it belongs to Istanbul.
