Pjesme vojnika
"Soldiers' Songs" is a collection of poetry by Marijan Grakalić, published in 2023, which, through about fifty poems, brings intimate reflections on the experiences of soldiers during the war.
The author, himself a participant in the Homeland War, uses verses close to prose expression to convey the atmosphere of everyday war, a sense of tension, the proximity of death and reconciliation with fate. The poems are permeated with images of muddy trenches, the sounds of gunfire and the silence after the battle, which evokes the anxious reality of soldiers. The collection was recognized by literary critics and included in the Anthology of Croatian anti-war poetry "Crickets and Trumpets".
