turkish poetry today

Ever since the magazine was imagined, created and produced by George Messo way back in 2013 (!) Turkish Poetry Today has attracted a great deal of interest. George brought his considerable skill as a poet and translator and his impressive range of contacts to bear to produce a ground-breaking insight into this less well-known but very vibrant poetic heritage. And we are proud to carry the torch into the next phase with the launch of a whole new format and style with the publication of Turkish Poetry Today 2016.
