Hülya N Yilmaz, in this soulful poetry collection of hers displays high level of intellectualism that will keep a reader digging incessantly in order to fully explore the richness of her eloquent expression.
As a reader, I had to connect my soul to her writings in order to extract the undiluted message Hulya has for the world.
Written in three dominant languages; Tukish, German and English...Hulya achieves what many will term impossible as she unites and creates a unique blend with these three languages without a depreciation in the appreciation of her profound expressions.
I cannot help but further continue to address Hulya N. Yilmaz as a literary mother whom I need to associate myself with so as to graduate to the level of excellence where mediocrity is shamed.
My heart is endeared to this awesome collection (Trance), and my love for the writer is strengthened beyond breakage...I have no choice but to address her as "mein Schatz" ( You care to know the meaning of these strange words? Go get the book)
