Đurđica Fučkan’s book offers an emotional, poetic glimpse into the author’s inner world. The verses radiate sincerity, the warmth of one’s native land, love, and a quest for simple, unadulterated beauty.
Bosonogo srce (Barefoot Heart, 2000) is a poetry collection by Croatian author Đurđica Fučkan, in which the title itself serves as a metaphorical key to understanding the entire work. "Barefoot Heart" symbolizes vulnerability, immediacy, sensitivity, and complete sincerity—devoid of the false masks or social armor with which one typically approaches the world and others. The poetic body of work is infused with themes of love, nostalgia, one's homeland, the transience of time, and the quiet, seemingly small moments of everyday life that carry profound emotional messages. Through her verses, the author creates an intimate atmosphere where images of nature intertwine with personal experiences. Her expression is simple, melodic, and accessible, yet simultaneously rich in layered metaphysical meaning and warm compassion. Through the motifs of bare feet and a pure heart, Đurđica Fučkan invites the reader to return to fundamental human values: presence, empathy, love for one's neighbor, and the preservation of the inner child. Bosonogo srce presents an emotional mosaic that offers a sanctuary from the hectic pace of daily life, reminding us of the beauty of uncorrupted human emotion.
