A poem’s journey

FOLLOWING A POEM

From book to song

Poems from Sakla Kendini found new voices on the album Kayıp Kadınlar.

In her 2015 column, Zaferyıldızı announced Mustafa Tozakı’s settings of poems from Sakla Kendini. The project was named Kayıp Kadınlar.

The Türkiye Writers’ Union bibliography records the CD in 2018. The collection-to-album link is documented; individual tracks have yet to be matched to book pages.

One poem, two forms: Canım Kıbrısım

Canım Kıbrısım appears in the poet’s 2015 column. EMU’s published score pairs the same text with Oskay Hoca’s music and credits Şirin Zaferyıldızı for the words.
