Synopsis
Istanbul—a place that is both exotic and familiar, spanning west and east, past and present—is fully explored in this collection of poetry that sketches out its many faces. Memories, cultures, and histories intersect in these poems that arch from imaginings of contemporary Turkey and trace back along a journey to Antioch. With characteristic playfulness, sophistication, and savage wit, this sojourn delves into what it means to be a part of a culture and to celebrate what is loved and ultimately unknowable.

Review
"John Ash could be the best English poet of his generation." —Peter Campion, Poetry, on To the City
"This may be the most auspicious debut of its kind since Auden’s." —New York Times Book Review on The Branching Stairs
"Full of elegance and poise, properly elegiac and alluding to real, as well as imagined losses and absences, the poems are by turns beautiful, entertaining, and moving." —Guardian
"[John Ash] may be the doyen of a new 'Istanbul School' [of poetry]." —Economist
