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 title poem, "The Black Rabbit," represents a kind of symbolist maneuver within "real" poetry, because like Baudelaire's "Albatross," it possesses a pronounced unambiguous charge.
The main motifs of the collection are love and everyday life, followed by poetry, and a subtle homage to Zagreb.
The book is designed as a series of "islands" - individual poems that function independently, but complement each other, forming a thematic whole.
