From the Author

"From Ayşe Kulin: To Berkay Doğan — with special sentiments and the very best wishes, especially for writing poetry."

Perhaps the most precious gift from the most precious of our rare artists…

"This book is not the voice of words — it is the voice of a soul that chose to rise from its own ashes. A voice that knows no boundaries, that has shattered the chains of reason, that challenges freedom with its very body…"

İskenderiye Yayınları (Publisher)

"Ink is spilled to tell, embers remain so we never forget. And some sorrows can only be understood by looking."

From the poem 'Ink, Ember, and Soul'

"Poetry is not a call to rebellion — it is a text of witness and inquiry. Its purpose is not to attack anyone, but to remind humanity of its responsibility."
