Translations From Turkish Poetry - A. Galip Ulsoy

Introduction

Turkish literature is very rich, but not widely available in English language translation. Poetry in the Turkish language is quite varied, including folk poetry, poetry of the Ottaman court, as well as contemporary poetry. The following selections, which are some of my favorites, can be accessed from the following menu:

Selected Poems

• Inside by Ahmet Arif
• The Horseman's Song by Nazim Hikmet
• The Last Bus by Nazim Hikmet
• Listening to Istanbul by Orhan Veli Kanik
• You, You by Yunus Emre
