Real by Karin Karakaşlı, translated by Canan Marașligil with Sarah Howe
POETRY BOOK SOCIETY TRANSLATION CHOICE SUMMER 2024
PRE-ORDER
Published 1st May 2024. Available for pre-order.
An acclaimed writer in multiple genres as well as a journalist and academic, Karin Karakașlı has repeatedly turned to poetry to chart complex emotional geographies – both her own and those of her country, Turkey. Her highly cinematic poems are powered by music, metaphor and a fascination for the mechanics of language itself. Running through her work is a deeply held belief in the emancipatory potential of words. Following on from her 2019 chapbook History-Geography, this new selection brings together poems from Karakașlı’s 15-year career, vividly translated into English by translator and writer Canan Marașligil working with British poet Sarah Howe.
