Like a (meta)physician or a mystic intoning the good medicine of song, Sonya Wohletz offers in Bir Sira Sonra a way of awakening to a world in which all things- animal, vegetable, mineral, and celestial bodies-breathe, probe, thrill, ache and sigh as we do. Who can feel alone in such a place? To read these poems is to enter a dizzying geography that spans deserts and mountains, south and north, molecule and moon. Wohletz explodes categories, draws and then crosses lines, and allows languages to arise in her verse as they must, from whichever tender root is throbbing to sprout.

- D.P. Snyder, translator of Meaty Pleasures

Profound yet ethereal, vibrant and emotionally powerful, this multilingual collection seeks, by its complexity, to illuminate the mysteries of the human condition, offering a revelatory meditation on consciousness, memory, language and time. It also reveals the disturbing truth about our own "voice" which sometimes, distorted, fragmented, fights to stay alive on the page, in spite of the ravaging time.

- Stella Vinitchi Radulescu, author of Traveling with the Ghosts

Sonya Wohletz's One Row After is a breathtaking interweaving of "elementary languages in the belly", and a unique physics which envelop-without restraining-memory, place, relationship, and "bütün dünya", the whole world.

-Lisa Creech Bledsoe, author of Appalachian Ground

Sonya Wohletz's poems use the sharpest, most purposeful language to build a light-feeling lyric space. This book is a mood to which one may cling. A tremendous reading experience.
