Prize-Winning Poet Still Imprisoned After 26 Years
"Memories of freedom, love and companionship fill the poems of İlhan Çomak, who was arrested at the age of 22....It is not unusual in Turkey for writers to be imprisoned. There have been, and still are, too many to mention here but none has been incarcerated for as long as Çomak."

What Sparks Poetry:
Martha Collins on Psalm 19
"One night when I was nine years old, when the stars and moon were shining brightly, my mother took me to the window and read the first verses of the 19th Psalm to me. That was a long time ago, so the version I heard was the King James, which is still....the translation I like to read. I was, as we would say now, blown away. I had heard and loved music all my short life, but I had never heard anything as beautiful as that Psalm." |
