Description

When the former Yugoslavia broke apart a vicious war tore Croatian, Bosniak (Muslim), and Serbian neighbors apart in the Bosnian War of 1992-end of 1995. These poems are a child’s view of her world coming apart and eventually coming back together, more or less. Using simple words and evoking tastes and smells as well as feelings, Aida Dziho-Sator’s voice is unique and beautiful, at once powerful and gentle. These poems involve more than the war experience but their evocation of the experience of war from a child’s perspective will remain with readers.
