Bejan Matur comes from a Kurdish Alevi family and grew up in South-eastern Turkey at a time of virtual civil war. Her poetry draws not only on her own experiences but also on the oral traditions of her childhood, though these are not autobiographical works.

This collection covers the broad vision of mankind's history with a story of an individual journey, in the course of which the poet explores the cosmic and the microcosm, the immensities of Time and Space, of becoming and Being. The poems came during a pilgrimage in south-western Anatolia.
