Şair Burak

Mektepten dönerdi kargalar
ninem onları yakalar
kanatlarından kardeşime
yelpazeler yapardı

Bir şiir üç çeviri 👇

Kıyısına tuz ileten rüzgarı
Balıkların yürüdüğünü duyuyorum
Dinlerim yosunların konuştuğunu
Midyelerin ağladığını
Aşkın bir kanadı var kırmızıdır
Delinir
Kan akar
Bir kanadı var
Zehir yeşili. — Sait Faik

Excellent to Perfect. Zeki Demirkubuz writes and directs a movie that trusts its audience in telling a story in the form of interconnected short stories of two main characters Rıza and Hicran. Too good for Oscars. shorturl.at/HSWbE

Very good to excellent. The movie is supposed to be on religious x secular division in Turkey but it becomes a deep exploration of young desire with perfect acting, brilliant writing, yet with some five minute unnecessary to silly scenes shorturl.at/X7E8a

Excerpts from Gioconda's Diary

15 March 1924; Paris, Louvre Museum"
At last I am bored with the Louvre Museum.
You can get fed up with boredom very fast.
I am fed up with my boredom.
…
I drew this lesson;
to visit
a museum is fine,
to be in a museum piece is terrible!

Today would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. How fitting that he predicted the current state of our country almost 30 years ago. Worth reading. Happy Birthday, Carl. We miss you. 💙
