About the book
Wistful memory, future longing, nostalgia for the unrealized possibilities of love, of voyage, of home… Keşke lingers at the threshold joining a travel narrative traversing the ancient and the modern to the intense lyric experience of self-discovery. Watery scenes rewrite Homeric myth with a feminist eye while verses unfold inner worlds with the tangible sensuality of a sublime landscape: forgotten caves, ancient ruins, and wave-battered ships. Experimental yet measured, Keşke is simultaneously refined and wild – shaped by the forms of both the chiseled blank spaces revealing the statue of a Greek goddess and the ragged angularity of the Mediterranean coast whose currents pulse through every page. The Turkish word keşke evokes desire for what is absent, the slipping movement of time and attachment, hope and impossibility; Keşke, too, traverses Turkey and the Sea, with a clear eye and a passionate hunger for where and what we might have been.
