“المصباح الأول
الموت جرس لا صوت له، ولا يُسمع رنينَه إلا ذاك الذي دنت منيتُه، وأنا، مذ وطئت قدماي أرض مهاباد، لا يبارحني هذا الرنين. ولكي أقاوم موتي فأنا أكتب. فالكتابة وحدها تهزم الموت.”
― Jan Dost, مهاباد: وطن من ضباب

“من اگر كُرد هم نبودم، بخاطر اين نابرابری و ظلم بزرگ به صدا در می آمدم؛ بچه های كُرد با كاغذهای سفيد روزها سر جاده ها می آمدند و كاغذهای سفيد خود را با خونشان قرمز مي كردند و تنها رويش مي نوشتند: «از كشتن ما دست برداريد، ما هم انسان هستيم.» دولت آنهايی را هم كه نمی مردند، روانه ی زندان مي كرد

!مگر غير از شما، چه وجدانی اين را تحمل مي كند”
― Ahmet Kaya

If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
