Erdag Göknar takes us on a dazzling virtual world tour encompassing history, aesthetics, and politics, from Bosnia to Chechnya to the Silk Road to Union Square and back to the place that was once the center of the civilized world, Istanbul\/Constantinople. Turkophiles like myself have been waiting for years for Göknar to publish his findings from the multilayered world he inhabits, and here it is. This is a book I shall be returning to often.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Richard Tillinghast, author of \u003ci\u003eAn Armchair Traveller’s History of Istanbul\u003c\/i\u003e and cotranslator of \u003ci\u003eDirty August\u003c\/i\u003e by Edip Cansever\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poems in \u003ci\u003eNomadologies\u003c\/i\u003e connect moments of separation and union in a life lived between Turkey and America.

Here, we learn that poetry is a landscape of inhabitation, and perpetual exile is one's home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eErdag Göknar\u003c\/b\u003e is a scholar, writer, and translator.
