Book of the edge
Ece Temelkuran
Translated from Turkish by Deniz Perin
Ece Temelkuran’s Book of the edge, translated by Deniz Perin, is a Turkish work that appears to stand deliberately at a boundary: political and personal, private and public, language and risk. The title gives the reader a useful doorway. An edge is a place of danger, but also of perception. It is where one sees what the center refuses to notice. Temelkuran is known across forms as a writer of political intelligence, and this book belongs on the poetry shelf as a work of pressure, address, and refusal. Published by BOA Editions, it asks for a reader willing to sit near discomfort and listen for what language does when ordinary certainty has become impossible.
