The folk poets used to wander all over Anatolia, Tabriz, Samarkand, the lands of Urum, China, and Maçin, contributing to the transmission of culture. They were the ones to be consulted about the good news from the borderlands, floods from the valleys, fires from the forest villages, outbreaks of diseases, grievances, oppressions, celebrations, and weddings; epics circulated from hand to hand like historical documents. If culture is one of the elements that make nations, then folk poets were the caravans carrying culture. The state of the people, the condition of the country, was inquired of them, heard through the strings of the bağlama. “From the Strings of the Bağlama: Anatolia in the Words of the Poets” was written to share what was heard from the saz of the lovers with you. Let’s become companions through the words of the lovers together.
