A reflective collection of poetry by Petar Elez from 2018. Through motifs of stone, karst, and the human heart, the poet explores inner turmoil, belonging to one's homeland, transience, and deep spiritual and emotional struggles.
The collection consists of four cycles separated from each other, with the following titles: "Let me praise you", "Dedications", "Tear for Notre Dame", "Roman reading".
A song is a source of hope, it is also a refuge, sometimes it is an unleashed pain, other times it is an exclamation of joy – ultimately, a song is life, and life, at least sometimes, should be a song.
A Little Before Everything, Long Ago We Are is the eleventh collection of poetry by Goran Rem (b. 1958, Osijek), a poet, essayist, literary historian, and member of the Quorum generation in Croatian literature.

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.
