Green

In this new collection of poetry, Sidney Wade includes poems written in many forms that touch on a variety of subjects, all informed by a singular voice and an intensely vibrant language. The volume is set primarily in Istanbul and illuminates physical and metaphysical borders - the edges, everywhere, of water and land; of vanished empires left standing, in architectural form, in the present; of two continents, Europe and Asia; of the broader Western and Eastern cultures and the civilizations that inhabit them.
