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.
In Leskarc's poems, we will quickly find themes about art and creativity, the Croatian language and folk customs, and national heritage.
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 book contains a selection of Šop's poetry and prose, the play The Eternal Prelude, Šop's letters to Dragutin Tadijanović, and memories of his acquaintance with Francis Jammes. The selection was compiled and the foreword written by Branimir Donat.
Fusions in search of fragments of identity, in a combination of verses and prose fragments, are at the forefront of this collection.
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.
