Poetry book created in Istanbul, 2016, while I was hosted as a writer in residence at maumau. The poems were written as streams of consciousness during my walks through the city. There is no edit or intervention of any kind, just raw thoughts and personal reflections. Hence the title, Istanbul Streams. 

 

Featuring my analog photos.
