Today I was walking in the old city region of Istanbul and passing a bookstore by. As always I had a quick glance at the books shown and suddenly the face of our famous poet Nazim Hikmet drew my attention. It was a collection of his poems translated into English. I rushed inside to check the book and to look if his best poem "Saman Sarısı" (Straw-blond) is also inside...and the answer is yes! Since previously I had trouble with finding the poem translated into English on internet I decided to buy the book and post it myself. The book is a wonderful collection by the way, absolutely recommended for anyone with English skills. You can find it in Amazon.
So here follows one of the best poems ever from a truly great poet, enjoy!
