Sve ono što u džepove nije moglo stati

Sve ono što u džepove nije moglo stati

Adnan Žetica

Adnan Žetica's eye is focused on the space and time that flows through him; he is an observer who finds a poem in the little things that, in a small number of verses, exposes and shows the world in all its baseness, but also its beauty.

“Žetica's extraordinarily vivid images, sharply focused details of unpoetic everyday life and 'reporter's' carefully selected scenes from the social margins, extremely precisely evoke the social environment, painful places from intimate memories and all the tragedy of post-war traumatic reality. The expressiveness of the colloquial idiom, epigrammatic conciseness, bold, imaginative and unexpected comparisons, snapshots of experience that gradually develop into effective and insightful metaphors in shifted, unusual perspectives, which often have the function of ironic commentary, give these poems extraordinary authenticity and freshness. From the trivial contents of dull provincial everyday life, Žetica carefully selects those images and fragments whose small details most credibly reflect painful memories of war, persecution and the terrible reality of ethnic divisions and the social isolation and numbness of the Herzegovina region, hyperbolizes them and in lucid and unexpected turns metaphorically 'fixes' their empirical weight.“

Lara Mitraković

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.
