Orhan Veli Kanik (1914-1950), more commonly known as Orhan Veli,
was a pioneering Turkish poet and one of the founding members of
the Garip (Strange) movement. His innovative poetics wore a unique
signature of austerity and accessibility. With arresting insight
and playful irreverence Veli's poems transformed the Turkish
literary world. When he died at the age of 36, he was acknowledged
as one of the most important Turkish writers of his generation.
Now, at last, this edition of The Complete Poems makes the full
breadth of his achievement available in English for the first time.
It brings together poems from the five collections published during
the author's lifetime, as well as uncollected material from
newspapers and magazines, and poems only published posthumously.
The Complete Poems includes an informative introduction, endnotes,
and chronology, placing the poems in their historical context and
touching on many of the themes which shaped Orhan Veli's
distinctive voice.
