Zeynep Oktay’s first poetry book, Birlerken, carries the meaning-world of Sufism—centered on the transformation of the individual—into modern poetry, while searching in her own personal journey for the traces of womanhood and childhood.
“Prehistoric tribes where I hide my soul
Are in ritual now
Another woman emerges from the mummy you opened
Your touch casts shadows
Shadows give birth to you
Traveling the universes thus
I meet the strangers of yesteryear.”
