Nâzım Hikmet is Turkey's best-known poet and one of their most recognizable historical figures. James H. Meyer situates Nâzim's fascinating international life story within the context of his border-crossing generation of Turkish communist contemporaries, addressing changing attitudes in the 20th century toward borders and the people who cross them.
