After the Storm: Poems in Two Languages

By C. Arda Orcan

A bilingual journey through love, loss, memory, and rebirth - told in Turkish and English, side by side.

After the Storm is a book for those who have carried too much, loved too deeply, and survived themselves.

Each poem exists in two languages, yet every line is born from a single truth - a heart learning how to breathe again.

Written across years marked by darkness and quiet transformation, this collection moves through themes of love, passion, heartbreak, identity, childhood innocence, and the hidden storms we carry inside.

On the left page, the original Turkish; on the right, its reflection in English. Not translations, but the same feeling spoken twice.

From the solitude of the sea to the complexity of human connection, these poems explore what it means to lose, to rediscover, and to rise.

Inside this book you will find:

poems born from the Aegean, Istanbul, and the inner tides of the soul,

a unique bilingual structure - Turkish and English in dialogue,

reflections on passion, longing, childhood, and the fragile strength of the human heart,

quiet moments of vulnerability, written with honesty and clarity.

After the Storm is for anyone who has searched for meaning in silence,
for anyone who has started again,
for anyone who has loved - even when it hurt.
