Miostrah

Ramiz Huremagić

Miostrah, the third collection of poetry by Ramiz Huremagić, is a logical continuation of the collections In the world of noisy people (2014) and Waiting for Time (2016), forming a coherent whole about being in a world characterized by fear and the need t

As a criminologist by profession, born in 1972 in Bihać and a survivor of the battlefields, Huremagić writes engaging love lyrics that bear witness to trauma and offer catharsis - the purification of repressed emotions through a poetic confrontation with history.

The collection explores the depths of the human mind: borderline states, good and evil, right and wrong, drives and instincts, reflection of self and the world, visible and invisible, state and disappearance, emotions, ego, time, language, life and death - all that means "being and non-being". In the cycle "About Love", love appears as a counterpoint to the war trauma from previous collections, but also as impossible - it suffocates in silence and hibernation (songs "Djelotvorna ljubav", "Bus", "Two lives under one roof", "Love at the bottom of a jar"). It is rounded off by the realization that love is realized in the impossible, offering an ethical way out of the cocooned fate ("Mature Years", "Consequential"). The "perfect space" of poetry becomes a way out of temporal captivity.

Huremagić sees himself as a “recorder of time and life”, where poetry is not a matter of inspiration, but a never-ending book of life – a process of perceiving the world without fears, where the inner voice determines the cycle of creation. The ethical side of his verses calls for critical reasoning more strongly than factual documents, testifying to war, loss and social injustice, but offering hope for detraumatization. Through linguistic innovations and the dialect of the region, he becomes a “modern poetic alchemist” who “fixes people”. Published in magazines such as “Poezija” and “Novi Izraz”, the collection has been awarded and praised for its spontaneity and expressionism, activating ethics through “here-being” against a noisy world.
