Human Landscapes of a Nation
Nazim Hikmet's great Epic Poetry is written in simple lines that carry more than they seem. So much about a culture and its human side. Nazim Hikmet, regardless of his politic side, is a humanist that always believed in human beings and wished for the best for those who suffer. Human Landscapes is a masterpiece of his humanist side.

Great Book, and a good edition
Nazim Hikmet and his poetry and prose are famous for various reasons, and I think with this specific edition the value of the poetry is very well communicated even to those who read Nazim for the first time. The translation, the glossary and the introductions are what make this edition great. As to what makes this book great... it is a very telling story of the history of the time in Turkey. The characters come alive and pass us by as we turn the pages and the reader becomes a part of the epic. While reading the story I felt like I was in Turkey and was turning my head to see where the noises were coming from only to be included in the daily lives of so many very well developed characters....

As memorable as it is personal
The poetry of Randy Blasing is as memorable as it is personal, as skillfully crafted as it is evocative. Second Home is a compilation that will admirably serve to introduce poetry enthusiasts to a truly gifted talent. Change Of Life: My friend the player vows he's written off/meaningless sex--i.e., sex without love--/but at a certain age all lovemaking/becomes an end in itself, not the means/to somebody's end, with no point beyond/the feeling of two souls conjoined to try/& give each other pleasure without end.//Since cutting to the payoff means letting/the future call the shots, as in the past,/the only way of staying in the present/moment remains to use the rhythm method/&draw out time by putting off the climax,/much as working the ins & outs of syntax/slows my progress toward the bottom line.

Poet of exile
A poet of great humanity, great compasion, a believer in the human race in spite of having been in jail from many years, as well as been exiled by the Turkish leaders. refreshing and immediate, poetry for everyone, simple and strong.

Translation
Does not matter how good the translation is, it is not comparable to the original work. Nazim Hikmet is world's one of the great poets, but what makes him special really is the way he uses Turkish.

A Great Poet
Hikmet is not only important for Turkish Poetry which has a unique and high level in the world,but also a major figure in world literature.Everyone interested in poetry should read him.
