In Quest of the Simurgh: A Poetry Collection

A poet master is not a prisoner of reality but the one who constructs the reality. A poet master holds a mirror to the reader, who acquires the reality reflected from the mirror. The poet first and foremost should be careful not merely to reflect life as it is, but to enhance, multiply, and enrich it, hinting at the secrets behind reality. Ahmet Murat's selected poems meet these expectations by their combination of key concepts and lines of powerful imagery.
