## Bio

Yunus Emre lived as a Sufi mystic in Anatolia between 1238 and 1320, writing devotional poetry in the Turkish vernacular rather than the courtly Persian or Arabic of his time. His folk verse — simple, direct, mystically charged — became a foundation of Turkish literary culture, carrying Sufi thought into the common language. The reach persisted: in 1991, UNESCO's General Conference unanimously designated that year International Yunus Emre Year to mark 750 years since his birth. He remains Derviş Yûnus, the dervish who made the ecstatic accessible.
