Prima edizione
Cover design by Besim Dalg?ç (illustratore). Tunç Ayna (Bronze Mirror) is the third poetry collection by acclaimed Turkish poet Ferruh Tunç, a key voice in contemporary Turkish literature whose work bridges modernist inquiry with linguistic archaeology. First published in 2012 by Sözcükler Yay?nlar? as part of its Turkish Poetry series, the volume explores memory, travel, identity, and ethical witness through spare, resonant lyric structures. Tunç's poems move deliberately between the personal and the historical, foregrounding the moral weight of language itself. Physically, this is a highly attractive first edition, featuring a striking minimalist cover design by Besim Dalg?ç and printed on quality paper stock typical of Sözcükler's better literary titles. The book retains the original Turkish Ministry of Culture holographic banderol on the rear cover, confirming authorized first-issue commercial distribution. A Near Fine example of a modern Turkish poetry title that is increasingly scarce outside Turkey, particularly in this condition. An excellent candidate for collectors of world poetry, Turkish literature in translation contexts, or Sözcükler first printings. Ferruh Tunç (born 1958, Gazipa?a, Turkey) is a Turkish poet and essayist associated with contemporary modernist currents in Turkish poetry. Educated in economics and public finance, he worked for many years in financial inspection and international auditing while maintaining an active literary career. His poetry has appeared regularly in leading Turkish literary journals, including Sözcükler, and his published collections - ?ehrin Eski Yolcusu, Melez Zamanlar, and Tunç Ayna - are noted for their philosophical depth, linguistic precision, and sustained engagement with memory, ethics, and historical consciousness.
