Burak Tokcan’s Poetry Wins Award

Burak Tokcan, Writer and Content Administrator at the Publications Office, has recently been awarded the Jury Special Award from the Cemal Süreya Poetry Competition. Organized by the Cemal Süreya Culture and Arts Foundation, the Cemal Süreya Poetry Awards are conferred in memory of Cemal Süreya, (1931 - 1990) one of the most important poets in Turkish Literature.

Tokcan graduated from the Department of Management in 2001. His interest in poetry began when he was a student at Bilkent University and grew when he joined the editorial board of 4 Mevsim, an art, culture and literature magazine of the time published by the faculty of Humanities and Letters. His poems have been published in several literary magazines such as 4 Mevsim, Kıyı, Damar, Beşparmak, Gökyüzü, Çağdaş Türk Dili, Ünlem, Yom Sanat, Evrensel Kültür, Patika, Dünya Kitap and Koridor. Tokcan, who has received six other national poetry awards including the First Place Award from the Rıfat Ilgaz Poetry Competition in 2004, received the Cemal Süreya Jury Special Award for his unpublished work "Sesim Kan Kaybediyor" comprised of thirty-one poems.
