Summary
Dijala Hasanbegović's poetry is not an easy read, but good poetry never is. This collection is a darkened heart that does not give up the light. Already reading the first poem, it becomes crystal clear that it is a rare combination of the aforementioned. I am happy that it exists and that I know where to find it. And whenever I feel strong enough for my scarier worlds and their darkness, I'll give them a line from one of the songs in this collection. I will do it as an ultimate message and a completely personal threat: I will not give my children to war!
