Marija Suk's poetry is intimate, emotional, connected to the Slavonian plain – a symbol of stability, fertility, but also suffering (war, loss, the everyday burden of a woman).

There is no experimentalism; the style is direct, heartfelt, with an emphasis on emotion and everyday wisdom. The collection is autobiographical – it celebrates the feminine world of a mother, wife and Slavonian woman who "endures" despite everything.
