Synopsis

In "War's Embers, and Other Verses," Ivor Gurney delves into the psychological and emotional aftermath of warfare, illuminating the adversities faced by soldiers and civilians alike in the wake of World War I. Gurney's distinctive style melds lyrical elegance with stark realism, presenting a collection of poignant poems that encapsulate both the horror and the humanity of conflict. Through vivid imagery and careful craftsmanship, he explores themes of loss, memory, and longing, offering readers a glimpse into the soul of a war-torn landscape that resonates with contemporary questions of trauma and resilience. Ivor Gurney, a soldier and a poet, experienced the harrowing realities of battle firsthand, which deeply influenced his literary voice. His background as a composer and his education at the Royal College of Music reveal an artist deeply attuned to the emotional cadence of language and sound. Gurney's personal struggles with mental health and his tumultuous experiences during the war served as powerful catalysts for his exploration of the human condition in this collection, establishing him as a significant voice in war poetry. This collection is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersection of art and war, as it provides a profound commentary on the effects of conflict that lingers long after the battles have ceased. "War's Embers, and Other Verses" stands as a testament to the enduring power of poetry to articulate the complexities of human experience in the face of adversity.

    Unterstadt - A Novel

    The novel Unterstadt tells the story of an urban family of German origin living in Osijek from the end of the nineteenth till the end of the twentieth century. It is narrated through the portrayal of the destinies of four generations of women – a great grandmother, a grandmother, mother, and a daughter – their shattered illusions, the education of their children, the historical events that brutally lash out at them.
     
    Ivana Šojat creates a world rich in detail and nuance, all her characters, both major and minor, are expressive and suggestive, abundant in virtues and flaws, complex and multidimensional, as life itself is. By depicting a clash of generations through the female characters of a family, the author creates a world in which, often due to bizarre strokes of fate or wrongly selected life-cards, both horrible and beautiful events occur. Yet the central theme, running through all the generations and all the characters, is that of hiding away from the past, fleeing from it, concealing it, which sooner or later leads to traumas and misunderstandings.
     
    Unterstadt is a book about a family and a town, written in the manner of the best and greatest modernist novels. Through the history of one family, it speaks of the twentieth century in a multiethnic town, of dictatorships, of wrongly selected sides, of fate which one can hardly defy.Unterstadt reveals the richness of Ivana Šojat’s narrative talent, and it is thus not surprising that she has emerged as one of the most interesting writers of contemporary Croatian prose.
     
    The book Understadt was published as part of the Growing Together project, co-financed by the European Union.

    An assured and inventive debut, The Thoughts explores different manifestations of intrusive thoughts as part of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) before navigating through the twists and turns of recovery and love. These poems inhabit therapists' treatment rooms, waiting rooms, and everyday documents, appearing in such varied forms as emails, research proposals and kids' puzzles. Compassionate and at times painfully humorous, The Thoughts is an act of advocacy, giving voice to critically underrepresented experiences of illness through poems that are as peculiar and creative as they are arresting.
