Synopsis

This collection of poems was started in September of 2016, when I relocated to my birth country of Bosnia, and where I spent three months living in a neighborhood where I grew up as a child, revisiting the past and connecting with relatives and the land. The context was a hotbed for emotional catharsis and creative expression apparent in the upcoming pages. The second half of the poetic journey took me back to New York City, my on and off home for the past decade, and extended to other visits that triggered the past, memories, unresolved entanglements and insights that I therapeutically and avidly poured on paper. The result is a concoction of stories divided into two thematic sections, 'Homeland Rhapsodies' and 'Inner Contemplations and Rude Awakenings', which had lived inside of me and chose to find a place in the external world where they could be more useful. Out of all the art I had created in life, words and using words as a medium for connection and transformation have been the most meaningful and fulfilling source of creation for me. I look forward to making more art from the heart (it all inevitably comes from there) and sharing it with the world. I am proud to hand over my first collection of poems to you, dear reader, in hope that it contributes to your life meaningfully in however small a way.
