Poems and paintings inspired by a visit to Burukada, Istanbul.

Did the poems induce the pictures, or vice versa? Does it matter? It's not a single word or color, it is their synergy, their joint hypnotic effect that distinguishes this unusual poem-painting combination from other artistic work.

They have power. They have punch. They may make you think and imagine. I suggest one poem a night; if you digest too many they may trouble you.
