Ege Dundar is a young Turkish activist forced to relocate to London and then Berlin. His debut poetry collection dives into the loss and longing ushered in by exile contrasted by the many forms of beauty found all around, with many poems fired by a passion for human rights and freedom of artistic expression. Relating this experience to the wider exodus of self-discovery, Dundar explores what may lie beyond our ideas of love, loneliness and resilience when 'titanic darkness' descends and 'the lights shine through miniscule cracks'.

Although he was released with a Supreme Court decision, facing a gunman outside the courthouse as well as illegal confiscations of assets and passports, the family were eventually forced to leave the country. Ege was a Sunday columnist at Milliyet Daily, produced a report on Exile Media in Europe for Körber Stiftung and hiswritings were published in outlets such as: BirGün, Le-Manyak, PEN Transmissions, Dw B and Bosla Arts. Dündaralso writes lyrics over compositions on piano and guitar, some of which are included in the debut collection.
