Synopsis
Poetry. "These vibrant poems beam their light on history's bad dreams of lost empires but also recall past harmonies of a great city. The lost voices of Izmir, the former Smyrna, are given rich particulars of passion and suffering that resonate in memory. With narrative drive and empathy for her subject, Olinka invites us to inhabit present and past worlds in turmoil. Her book deserves a wide audience"--Colette Inez.

From the Inside Flap
The Good City depicts the birth of modern Izmir, a Turkish city whose citizens are changed by passion and the suffering caused by war. Reminiscent of Lawrence Durrell’s Alexandria Quartet, Olinka’s book is an epic tale of heroism, love, and survival.
