The Poetry Channel of the 17th Istanbul Biennial is a project that calls for the poet’s mind and words to help us find other ways of thinking, relocating our senses that have been attenuated, of comprehending again, and of coming together in these unprecedented times. It brings together 15 contemporary leading and emerging poets who write in Turkish to experiment and respond to the current course of world events, and to the corporate and government created digital media paradigm by inviting them to write monthly poems throughout 2021. In this episode of Radyo Bienal, the poets reflect on the experience and read their selected poems.
