I have a few poems—translated into Portuguese— in a fantastically designed issue of A sul de nenhum norte.
I suddenly thought of flowers
poppies cacti daffodils
In Istanbul in Kadikoy in a daffodil field I kissed Marika
her breath smelled of almonds
I was seventeen
my heart was a swing moving in and out of the clouds
I didn’t know I loved flowers
comrades send me three red carnations in prison 1948
I just remembered the stars
I didn’t know I loved them
whether I’m watching them bewildered from below
or flying among them.
—Nazim Hikmet, from Things I Didn’t Know I Loved

Cold Green Tea Press is excited to announce the release of The Suspect, Andrew Nye’s second chapbook of poems.
The poems in The Suspect inhabit a strange zoo of a world where fairy tales, city life, curious animals, film noir and unexpected encounters make themselves known all at once.
