Poetry

A poet whose work has been translated into more than ten languages, Çağla Meknuze also engages in interdisciplinary artistic practices beyond literature, including collaborations in video poetry, concrete poetry, and text-based installations.

Çağla Meknuze’s poetry first gained recognition with an Honorable Mention in the 2015 Yaşar Nabi Nayır Youth Award, organized by Varlık, Türkiye’s oldest and most established literary magazine. The manuscript, The Corpse of a Woman Saint, was later published as her debut poetry collection. Her poems have appeared in various international publications, including the World Poetry Almanac (2017–2018), and have been translated into more than ten languages, including German, English, Dutch, Croatian, Bulgarian, Persian, and French.

She has since presented her work at numerous international literary and art festivals, bringing together poetry, live performance, and installation in interdisciplinary formats.
