Paperback. Condition: New. "How does a writer translate war? And when the war is over, how does the individual reconstruct his world from the ruins? Bajraj lives in Mexico, in exile since the war in Kosovo, and a lot of his poetry is equally attentive to both the desire and the loneliness inherent in that fate. -- Ani Gjika (tra…nslator) Bajrajs poems capture the troubled voice of the foreigner in a strange land; a place tethered, painfully and inextricably, to the past. Bajrajs Mexico City, populated by fallen angels and the ghosts of the poets war-torn past, is an uneasy place, one in which even the most mundane of activities is tinged with darkness. Visions of violence intermittently break the flow of words, rendered all the more forceful by their sparse simplicity. This selection of short poems, like small windows into a world in which neither the reader nor the poet is entirely at ease, allow us to contemplate the brutal melancholy of war, exile, and their lingering effects. -- Alice Whitmore.

Paperback. Condition: New. Born in 1949, Julia Gjika grew up during the harshest years of Albanias Communist regime when literature from the West was strictly censored and her own poems were often not allowed in print. When compared to that of other countries in Europe, womens poetry in Albania is fairly recent, and Gjika belong…s to the first generation of female poets, having published her first book, Birthday, in 1971, followed by Where I Find Poetry in 1978. In 1996, she immigrated with her family to the United States, where her poetry began to reflect the sacrifices of immigration. Gjikas work is characterized by an unflinching honesty, precision of thought and language, and the peculiar combination of wisdom with a childlike vulnerability. She is a poet who, like the child who puts her ear to the railroad track to hear her train coming, has felt everything deeply, and given herself permission in the face of it all to break into song.

Paperback. Condition: New. A Song by the Aegean Sea is a song for the unsung heroes of the coast of Izmir, Turkey, or Smyrna, that cosmopolitan city through the different ages. The book celebrates the underbelly of the city; the gypsies selling flowers, the roving musicians, the mussel-sellers, and the protestors. The elements o…f the city's coastline are also merged with the characters in an impressionistic, yet surreal canvas from a stranger's point of view. The traveler, i.e., the poet, or the singer of the Aegean song yearns to become part of the scene.

Paperback. Condition: New. These poems arose from the depths of incarceration, from the throat and intellect of Mohsen Mohamed (sentenced to five years of harsh imprisonment after a campus protest) and went on to win Egypt's two most significant literary prizes. They speak of dislocation and the wrenching of the heart, of a foun…d (and forged) community, of the bare lineaments of humanity disclosed in the throes of suffering. They are works of provocative witness and searching tenderness.
