The earliest turkish verses, dating from the sixth century A.D., were love lyrics. Since then, love has dominated the Turks' poetic modes and moods--pre-Islamic, Ottoman, classical, folk, modern. This collection covers
love lyrics from all periods of Turkish poetry. It is the first anthology of its kind in English. The translations, faithful to the originals, possess a special freshness in style and sensibility.

Here are lyrics from pre-Islamic Central Asia, passages from epics, mystical ecstasies of such eminent thirteenth-century figures as Rumi and Yunus Emre, classical poems of the Ottoman Empire (including S leyman the Magnificent and women court poets), lilting folk poems, and the work of the legendary communist Nazim Hikmet (who is arguably Turkey's most famous poet internationally), and the greatest living Turkish poet, Fazil H sn Daglarca.

The verses in this collection are true to the Turkish spirit as well as universal in their appeal. They show how Turks praise and satirize love, how they see it as a poetic experience. Poetry was for many centuries the premier Turkish genre and love its predominant theme. Some of the best expressions produced by Turkish poets over a period of fifteen centuries can be found in this volume.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Comfort – Like Sleeping in a Luxury Hotel Every Night!
I am beyond impressed with the DIORIS Pillows Queen Size Set of 2! From the moment I laid my head on them, I knew I had found my new favorite pillows. They strike the perfect balance between soft and supportive, making them ideal for back, stomach, and side sleepers like me and my partner. The fluffy down alternative fill feels just like the real thing—plush, breathable, and incredibly comfortable without triggering my allergies. These pillows don’t flatten out overnight either; they maintain their shape and bounce back beautifully each morning. What really stood out to me was the hotel-quality feel. The outer fabric is smooth, skin-friendly, and breathable, helping me stay cool and sweat-free throughout the night. I wake up feeling refreshed, well-rested, and with no neck pain—which is a huge win! If you're looking for affordable luxury, I highly recommend these DIORIS pillows. They’ve completely upgraded my sleep experience, and I’ll definitely be buying another set for the guest bedroom!

Helps you get a good night's rest
Color: Blue, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
These are my favorite pillows. I've had so much neck pain and headaches in the morning. This all stopped once I started using them. They hold up their shape and seem like they are good quality. My husband kept trying to steal my pillow, so I had to order him his own. You won't be disappointed in these pillows, and you'll get much better sleep.

Very soft!
Color: Blue, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
I like the softness of these pillows. They are too bulky for me but my husband loves his. I’ve been using a flat pillow for too long. I may just need to adjust to it.
