Krvava knjiga
Franjo Nagulov's new poetry collection, The Bloody Book, is a dark record of the decline of a society.
Her poems can be read individually or as one long poem, a poem about a symbolic mother whose child, due to social circumstances, has no chance of a dignified life. Nagulov creates an entire imaginary of maternal identities, which she fills with various meanings, tasks and expectations that we are accustomed to attaching to the concept of a mother, whose environment is such that she tells her son to run away from it because it is a "camp". Leading us through the nightmarish landscape of today, the poet gives a pessimistic diagnosis of society: it is riddled with various diseases, and its recovery is still not being worked on.
