Adnan Adam Onart's The Passport You Asked for deals with the history and culture of Crimea, but specifically with the unjust deportation and diaspora of Crimean Tatars. The book recreates such historical figures as Mengli Giray and Numan Çelebi Cihan, and proposes a modern rendition of the Çora Batır saga in five fictional fragments. The title of the book is drawn from a three-piece sequence describing the tragedy of Mahmut Musa. Nothing about Tatar culture would be complete without the tender celebration of Bozturgay and Çibörek; so the book contains two poems about them. Some of the poems are light-hearted in tone, expressing the conviction that no culture, no nation can mature without a degree of self-deprecation. Since The Passport You Asked for is about Tatar dislocation, some poems reflect the daily life in Istanbul, and others life in in the USA; some touch to the heaviness of being a Muslim, a Turkish Muslim, in the United States post-9/11. The volume is dedicated to Mustafa Cemilev, leader of Crimean Tatars' non-violent struggle for human rights and return to their ancestral homeland.
Adnan Adam Onart is of Crimean Tatar descent. His poetry chronicles his Istanbul childhood and the largely neglected Crimean Tatar genocide perpetrated by Trasist Russia and sustained by the former USRR. He lives in Boston and is the author of books and essays on philosophy, linguistics and mathematical logic. His poetry in Turkish has appeared in Soyut, Yordam, Kardaş Edebiyatlar, Kırım and Dergah and in English in The Boston Poet, Prairie Schooner, Colere Magazine, Red Wheel Barrow, The Massachusetts Review. He is also the author of Turkish: A Dictionary of Delights, introduced and edited by Roger L. Conover.

Cyprus's Bad Period by Kenneth Rosen, the established and prolific poet, now professor emeritus with multiple stays abroad as a Fullbright-scholar and curious tourist, conveys Professor Rosen's reflections through his first hand, melancholy but defiantly mischievous observations on Cypriot dislocation and diaspora. It depicts the entanglements of an historical moment, through not only Greek and Turkish perspectives; but also from the angle of a multi-faceted cultural background, a span invoking Franz Kafka, the tragically bewildered but amused Czech Jew, and Marianne Moore, the faux Victorian wild Ameican-Irish spinster, thus combining political insight and ambiguity with a lyricism of honed over decades.
Kenneth Rosen has published nine poetry collections, including Homo Politico (Cyprus, 2006) on the Middle East, plus hundreds of poems, stories and essays in American and international reviews and magazines. Living in Portland, Maine, he taught at the University of Southern Maine for forty years, four years as English Department chair, founding the Stonecoast Writers' Conference, receiving numerous University awards, the two year endowed Rusell Chair and publication of his lecture "A Spy in the House of the Thought Police." Whole Horse, chosen by Richard Howard for Braziller Poetry Series, was a Pulitzer Prize nominee. Besides No Snake, No Paradise (Ascensious Press) and The Origins of Tragedy (CavanKerry Press), Howling Dog Press of Colorado will publish Gomorrah and American Love: A Manifesto.
