"Bela sela, beli vez" is the title of Nada Maletić's second book of poetry, and it is characterized by the language in which it was written, which was once spoken in the villages near Valpovo, and a humorous style.
The book contains 53 poems written in the dialect of "White Villages".
The following pages are torn from the book of the people's revolution. From the book? No, from the womb, from the veins, from the bloodstream, from the roots of life. They are the history of love.
The intense saturation and density of this poetry make it impossible to read this book in one sitting. It must be taken slowly and measuredly, as each poem requires a longer process of reception.
