Hello everyone! I’m Altay.
I am from New York City, grew up in Istanbul, and live in London. I am 33 and Turkish-American. I have been writing poetry for myself all my life and finally decided to share it. I like to write about life, emotions and spirituality. As a poet I have been influenced a lot by Sufi poets, such as Rumi and Khayyam. Check out my poems on the forum postings. And if you like them you can find more in my first poetry book The Spirit & The Stone . It has 40 poems of my favourite poems about doubt, loss, faith, self-discovery and the spiritual journeys in between. You can preview, download or order The Spirit & The Stone at http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book...e-stone/7311263 . Looking forward to sharing with you all on this site! The best! Altay |

Hi Altay, welcome to MM! Thank you for giving us a picture of your life and poetical aspirations. These sound highly interesting, so do please post some of your poems in the forums. First read about the different forums, because we mainly offer critiques & commentaries, so if you don't want to participate in any workshopping, there are spaces where you can just post polished pieces for exhibition. You may post one poem first, then make comments or critiques of two other poets' works before posting another of your own. Always leave at least a day in between postings, to give you time to answer members' commentaries, or to thank them and make revisions if you like their suggestions.  Step in, make yourself at home! Sylvia

During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. "There is no life higher than the grasstops Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind Pours by like destiny, bending Everything in one direction." Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights. Nominate a poem for the InterBoard Poetry Competition by taking into careful consideration those poems you feel would best represent Mosaic Musings. For details, click into the IBPC nomination forum.
