Yasak Sevda Sözcükleri

by Gülsüm Cengiz

“Gülsüm için ne denebilir? Bilinçsiz insanların rahatını kaçıran kadın. Mangal yürekli ana. Devrimci Türk şiirine yeni bir ses getiren şair. Acı çekenlerin, işkence görenlerin, geleceğe umutla bakanların, yarınlara güvenenlerin, baharı ve barışı özleyenlerin şairi…”
Hıfzı Topuz

“Gülsüm Cengiz’in şiiri insan odaklı, yaşama bağlı, yaşamdan besleniyor; yaşamı yansıtıyor; insanlarıyla, ilişkileriyle, yaşantılarıyla, sorunlarıyla…”
Yusuf Çotuksöken
