The collection Selected Poems by Aleksa Šantić brings a representative selection of lyrics by one of the most important poets of Serbian realism and modernity.
As one of the rare poets of today who has avoided the trap of so-called 'realistic' or 'narrative' poetry, Asmir Kujović has offered a kind of aesthetic guide from the anxiety of the 20th century in all his poetic works to date.
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.
The main motifs of the collection are love and everyday life, followed by poetry, and a subtle homage to Zagreb.
Writing in the first person singular, Stojić depicted the life and dreams, experience and fate, defeat and loss of homeland of a generation, a city, an era.
