August 28 marks the fifth anniversary of ilhan Berk’s death. In remembrance and celebration of his life and work Nurol Art Gallery in Bodrum, Turkey, will host a memorial exhibition of the poet’s paintings and drawings. This year also sees the opening of a museum devoted to Berk in his former house.
Tomorrow I’ll share some of my favourite ilhan Berk poems here on the blog and post details of upcoming books and translation projects for 2014 and beyond.
