veya tutkal is the first full-length poetry book by Istanbul-based writer and artist Zeynep Yılmaz. Conceived at the intersection of literature and artists’ publishing, the book approaches language as a material that binds, separates, and continuously reshapes memory, intimacy, and everyday experience. Oscillating between autofiction, poetic fragments, and observational writing, Yılmaz constructs a fluid narrative where personal histories expand into broader emotional and social landscapes. Designed and independently produced in collaboration with zaten stüdyo, the publication reflects the possibilities of self-publishing as both an artistic and editorial practice, extending the book beyond literature into the field of contemporary artists’ books.
