Reviews

"Turab’s poetry stays with you and, like with all good poetry, when you come back to it, it will say more to you than it did the first time. His verses illuminate their subject and move you with their message of rationality." [6]

"Ata Turab's words also hold content relating to socio-political issues, philosophy, romance and journey into simple yet refined emotions. One finds Turab’s poetry an absolute long narrative, where the characters in words tease and engage, multiply and divide, arrest and surrender, probe and explore, love and hate, redeem and sin, live and die — but, always breathe, creating a sense of extinguishing the inner climate of mind and soul. He captures the horrors, glories, mundane existence, confrontations, demons, consequences, and what it is to be alive in a world full of facades that we human beings are classified to follow whether we agree or disagree."
