Poetry against ‘sound of evil’

Alevi-Kurdish author and columnist Bejan Matur, Metin Celal and İsmail Kılıçarslan attended the events from Turkey. 

“As poetry emerges across the world, gains greater currency and boosts its voice, I believe that the sound of evilness and war will be lowered,” Kılıçarslan said during the event.

The event also drew poets from countries such as Germany, Japan, the United States, Spain, Sweden and India.
