Translated with an Introduction by Deniz PerinEce Temelkuran is arguably Turkey's most accomplished young writer. Born 1973 in Turkey, she has published eight books of poetry, prose, and nonfiction. An award-winning daily columnist for Milliyet, she was 2008 Visiting Fellow at the University of Oxford's Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism. In Book of the Edge, Temelkuran describes an allegorical journey wherein the speaker, or explorer, encounters strange creatures, including a butterfly, bull, swordfish, sow bug, and cruel city dwellers. These poems point to the undeniable connection between all living beings.
