Istanbul

by Ates Orga (Editor)

Overview

Istanbul, capital of two great empires, confluence of Asia and Europe, has called forth poetry throughout her long history, from paupers and sultans, natives and visitors alike. The silhouette of thousand-year-old domes and tapering minarets, the sunsets reflected nightly in a thousand palace windows and the bustle of her markets have inspired Sultan Suleyman, W. B. Yeats and Nâzım Hikmet, amongst others, to salute one of the world's most remarkable cities.
