Definition of Shame

These works, which BEHRAM describes as 'prose', are unlike any known art / literature genre. The author tells the stories of the emotion / observation / knowledge behind his most original poems to children and adults in the language of fairy tales. The narratives are adorned with the colors of the painter Bayram Gümüs. The 'images with information notes' in these books, which also include the poems whose stories are told, have a special importance within the integrity of the works. The information has been compiled from scientific sources with a blend of imagination.

These 'information notes' are in the integrity of discourse / observation / interpretation with both concrete reality and the poetry that is the backbone of the work. The interpretation of life in these works is oriented towards the flow of children and nature within each other, based on the child / nature / adult triangle. This flow is pure, pure, righteous, oppressed and strong. The reasons for the confusion of this flow are hidden in the 'adult human who has lost his childhood', a living species: wars and nature massacre; plunder, exploitation, insatiability and greed for profit; cruelty, torture, mask, fraud... etc. These works, which call humanity to the side of life, children and nature, are the voice of everyone of all ages, children / adults, who carry joy to life, passion for people and love for nature. With his poetic works that show that poetry is essentially a treasure trove of dreams, emotions, knowledge, intuition and culture, BEHRAM offers the reader a brand new richness with a brand new genre.
