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 |

Welcome Altay,
Interestingly, I've recommended Khayam and Rumi to you in a different thread before reading this  I've got the Avery & Heath-Stubbs translation published by Penguin Books, adorned with Persian painting reproductions. This book is like a precious jewel. Do you read English & American poets? Who? Mark ·······  ······· |
