| Ozkan Mert (b. 1944) |
 Born
in Erzurum in Eastern Turkey. After High School, he studied Turkish literature
for a while at Ankara University. He now lives in Stockholm, where he
works for the Turkish Service of Swedish Radio. His collected poems appeared
in 1988. Mert's poetry is socialist to the core without the excesses of
total obedience. His poems rise to the skies like sturdy kites (from Modern
Turkish Poetry, ed. F. K. Fergar). |
