The Poetry of Nazim Hikmet

[@ismailozozdemir6485]

Hey, I am from Turkey and I would like to thank you for this video in which you described fundamentals of Nazım's poetry very well. Just a side note; his words have more deeper meaning in Turkish and it is almost impossible to translate his poems into other languages. I wish you could understant the real power of his words.

I'm glad you liked my discussion of Hikmet's poetry. Translation is always a challenging thing, and I'm sure that in Turkish there is a lot going on that doesn't come across well in the English versions.

I love his work. Blazer's translations are great.

Hikmet is a great writer, though I haven't read any other translations. Plus, I don't read Turkish, so I don't know how accurate these translations are.
