Poetic Diary – I. While I was in New York about one-and-a-half to two-years ago…
There is a perception that everything exists in the universe as if it has been reflected through the mind of mankind…

I was in a forest densely filled with very tall and wide pine trees
There was a hillside at the entrance of the forest…
Just like the one at the entrance of the Forest Park by the Park Lane
which is 10 minutes from where I live
However, all the pine trees on the hillside were uprooted and carried away
The earth in the denuded open area was still very fresh and wet
As if it was fallowed that day with the purpose of farming!

December 16, 1917 – December 16, 2017 
I.
Many people used to mention the impossibility of interviewing you…
Once I was influenced by your vision, I wanted to interview you…
At that time, I had read in the newspapers that you were in New York…
I had immediately found out where you were staying and called
This hotel happened to be the one where you had written the book “2001: Space Odyssey”
Much later, I also found out that in front of the hotel wall,
there is a placket in your name that refers you’ve written the “2001: Space Odyssey” there…

I.
Çoğu kimse, sana ulaşmanın – görüşmenin imkansızlığına dem vururdu…
Girmiştim bir kez vizyonunun etki alanına ve bir röportaj yapmak istiyordum…
Bir gazetede okumuştum New York’ta olduğunu o sıralar…
Hemen otelini öğrenip aramıştım ki, bu otel “2001: Uzay Macerası”nı da yazmış olduğun
Adına bir Plaket’in de duvarında asılı olduğunu da çok sonradan öğrenmiş olduğum bir otel…
Ve ne büyük bir rastlantı ki, New York’a 1990 yılında ilk ayak bastığım ve benim de kalmış olduğum oteldi, Hotel Chelsa…
Haberi okur okumaz hemen aramıştım oteli…
Maalesef o sabah ayrılmıştın Sri Lanka’ya dönmek üzere
Çok üzülmüştüm ama yapacak bir şey de yoktu o an…

BİR İLKLER HALKASI: ELAZIĞ FIRAT ÜNİVERSİTESİ…
Bu yazıyı, Doç. Dr. Sebahattin Devecioğlu, Doç. Dr. Fatih Özek ve Arş. Görv. ve
Edebiyat Öğrenci Topluluğu Danışmanı Sema Oruç ve Edebiyat Öğrenci Topluluğu üyelerine ithaf ediyorum.
Her şeyin bir ilki ve kendi dönüşüm halkası vardır. İletişim ağı ve kendi iç ve dış bağlantıları çerçevesinde de, bir tarihi…
Bu bir insanın doğuşundan, her bir insanın “hayatım da ilk defa” ifadesinde kendini bulan bir zincirler skalasına; o noktadan da görünen-görünmeyen ağlarının birbiriyle örtüşmesine kadar geniş bir alanı kapsar. Bu soyutlama, yer-coğrafya, mekan, tarih, olay, nitelik benzeri her biri kendi içinde ayrı bir olgu da veya kıpırdanma ile başlayan bir çok unsur için geçerlidir. Gerek coğrafi, gerek sosyal, gerek akademik, gerek entellektüel, gerek tarihsel gerekse bireysel birikimler ve olgular bileşkesinde ise “hayatım da ilk defa”ların dahi, kendi içinde—farkında olunsun ya da olunmasın—bir tarihi vardır!

FRIENDS KNEW ÇİĞDEM TO MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE
A Tribute To ÇİĞDEM ACAR
by Timur AKPINAR
It is hard to come to grips with the loss of our dear friend Çiğdem.
I knew her for a long time, going back decades.
I tried to recall one of her qualities that left the greatest impression on me and it was difficult.
She had many good traits.
Her intellect was extraordinary.
