All These Things Aren't Really Lost

Ege Dundar is a young Turkish activist forced to relocate to London and then Berlin. His debut poetry collection dives into the loss and longing ushered in by exile contrasted by the many forms of beauty found all around, with many poems fired by a passion for human rights and freedom of artistic expression. Relating this experience to the wider exodus of self-discovery, Dundar explores what may lie beyond our ideas of love, loneliness and resilience when 'titanic darkness' descends and 'the lights shine through miniscule cracks'.
