A centennial volume, with previously unavailable poems, by Turkey's 
greatest poet.  Published in celebration of the poet's one hundredth 
birthday, this exciting edition of the poems of the Nazim Hikmet 
(1902-1963) collects work from his four previous selected volumes and adds more than twenty poems never 
before available in English. The Blasing/Konuk translations, acclaimed 
for the past quarter-century for their accuracy and grace, convey 
Hikmet's compassionate, accessible voice with the subtle music, 
innovative form, and emotional directness of the originals.
