Description
This is a compilation of three collections of poetry, written over a number of years. Mature and sure of their essence, Durmush can be said to have wholly come of age as a poet. Durmush also translates Turkish poems of twentieth century origin. An established, poet and playright, translation is a new endeavour. She brings well known and more obscure poems to a new audience, giving them meaning, grace and depth.

WEEPING BITTERLY
By Hasan Huseyin (1927-84)
Translation by Fatma Durmush. (1993)
Bad.
The situation is bad.
The situation is really bad.
The situation is essentially bad.
This way and that.
That way and this.
If not today tomorrow.
If not morning evening.
The situation is really bad
The situation is desperately bad
The situation is bad.
Bad.
No, it is not all bad.
If it was this way and that.
If it comes to this side a little.
This way can even be better
Like I say it will be just perfect.
Good, good.
The situation is good.
The situation is very good.
