Comarde Sinan

"Time is very significant, because Furat is trying to find his own imaginary space, to invoke the past in order to fight his nightmarish present. In poetry, what I love is the ability to fuse the tenses and various modes of time in one sentence. But it's something that I notice after writing and not something I plan. Linearity breeds boredom and monotony. One last thing: it is a common myth. We don't even think of our lives or remember them in a linear fashion. Linearity is the mind's attempt to impose some logic and order on this random and senseless existence!"
