Not Another Dream

Arzu Deniz, mostly known in the poetic world as R, is a poet, writer, digital illustrator, and graphic designer currently based in Istanbul, Turkey. She owns and runs a successful literary magazine named Prosetrics, available quarterly. She has been published in several anthologies for her poetry and prose, including one of the best-selling books, Hidden in Childhood, and is now set to publish her first book. R has also designed the winning posters for Christmas and Halloween for Spillwords Press. Arzu has been through a lot of traumatic downs in life and found solace in letting it all out through her poetry and, recently, through her art. You will see her poems and prose, which she calls "prosetry," based around the subjects of trauma, abuse, mental health, heartbreaks, betrayal, and depression. Her words reflect the stories of her life and the storms she had to weather all alone.
