Sobre este artículo
Stockbridge, GA : Assisi Gardens Press, 2011, 2011. As New. 1st edition, 1st printing ; [20] leaves ; 19 cm. ; Dewey: 811.54 ; OCLC: 784558748 ; 1/4 leather with marbled papers and gold lettering ; no dustjacket, as issued ; "Each of the poems depicts a few seconds before a death occurs. Some of these final moments turn quite violent, others are merely a release; still others are without warning, and some are carefully premeditated, either by a single person, or by the State. All of these deaths take place in Turkey, which colors the scenes and, in a few instances, the dialog. There was no specific, hidden purpose to setting the poems in Turkey, and no pejorative or condemnatory slander is intended. My personal contact with the Turkish people and their centuries-old culture has been nothing short of a love affair. The motivations and modus operandi of the subjects of the poems are universal, however, and should be an element, although missing in words, that can be readily supplied by the imagination of any English reader...any synopsis or outline of what motivation undergirded any one poem is superfluous—one must only understand that the portraits impressionistically painted are of the moment of death for 18 people in Turkey." ; Contents: My Trousers are Long and the Sky is Blue -- The Stairs are High and Dark -- Ne Ayïp Şey! -- What a Fool You Were! -- You are Learning Your Lesson -- Cat and Mouse -- Hostage -- A Revenge -- A Debt Paid -- My Watch Is Not In Working Order -- Anyone Who Learns Knows -- War Is Over -- She Cannot Do This -- Is Your Tea Sweet Enough? -- No Flame Without Fire -- Fork and Knife -- He Does His Duty -- Good for Nothing ; AS NEW
