Fog Bells: 8 Contemporary Turkish Poets, trans. Neil P. Doherty
Dedalus Press (Dublin, Ireland)
Published October 2025.
This groundbreaking bilingual anthology, translated and introduced by Neil P. Doherty, presents a generous selection of the work of eight of its most distinguished living practitioners to provide an insight into the depth and richness of contemporary poetry in the Turkish language, still so little known in the West. “These fog bells, which were first sounded at one edge of the European land mass, are now ringing out at its opposite extremity. Who knows what new routes, what hitherto unexplored songlines they may inspire?†'His introduction offers one of the best accounts of this poetry in the context of its living tradition that I have seen.' — Richard Tillinghast, translator, with Julia Clare Tillinghast, of Dirty August: Selected Poems of Edip Cansever
