The lived, remaining, passing time - it is the time that inspires the poet Hasan Özdemir to reflect, it is the temporal flows whose traces he follows. In ZOrtyklen, he approaches his great theme, the place that has become, after years, no longer foreign, but a familiar and beloved home. In time and space, he locates love in its facets of coming together, being together, and separation. In grappling with the inevitable dying and death, the poet not only struggles to breathe, he is left breathless. These are contemplative lines, partly desperate thoughts, yet they repeatedly convey a sense of hope.
