�Poetry is like an aperitif before a meal. Like any other art form, poetry, too, can not be and should not be described, but must be experienced in itself. Life, love, our sufferings, ambitions and universe inspire the poetry and the poetry should inspire those as well�.� This is Askin Ozcan�s philosophy on poetry. Lightning and a Bouquet of Roses is a selection of poems from the collection Askin Ozcan has written in a time span of some thirty years during his life in many countries. The poems touch on different manifestations of our human existence�love, search for truth, our encounters with the different aspects of life and our environment; from the seasons to the universe�.
