This is a collection of poetry that speaks deeply about war, loss, pain, but also the inner strength and dignity of a person faced with tragedy.
"Silence is a Hurricane Tonight" is a poignant and sincere collection of poems about war and its consequences on the human soul. Karačić does not try to embellish reality – he strips it bare, but with the aim of not forgetting, and of giving strength for life to emerge from pain.
This book was published in 1965 in New York with the goal of "bringing the people of the USA and Japan closer together so that they appreciate and understand each other and the ways of life of both nations."
