"Lost Words" is a collection of poems, fragments, thoughts and short stories, divided into twenty-one different sections, seven sections for three different cycles.
In Wandering Spirits of Exile, poems converse with art, bridging words and visual representation. This powerful collection breathes life into images, capturing their essence and telling their stories. Through three sections, the collection reimagines the exilic journey. Section 1 interrogates and illuminates the Middle Passage. Section 2 delves into the spirit-life of Jamaica's Nanny of the Maroons, tracing the 'Nanny Spirit' through generations. Section 3 expands the narrative through artists like Mallica 'Kapo' Reynolds and Jean-Michel Basquiat, portraying the enduring legacy of Africans in the New World. With ekphrastic poetry at its core, Wandering Spirits of Exile weaves history and emotion, confronting institutional violence and social disenfranchisement. The Nanny spirit, a symbol of empowerment, guides readers through a journey of reclamation and resilience. This collection is a tribute to heritage, identity, and the uncontainable spirit of those far from home.Ver libro

In the 20th Century War enveloped the globe on two occasions. Myriad other wars erupted, spent themselves in fury or rumbled on, decaying into untold misery and pain. Whilst The War Poets were heralded, the women poets were not much spoken of. True, their role was not on the front lines directly, in the heat and line of battle, but they were there, just behind, witnessing the wholesale slaughter of a generation in the ‘War to end all wars’. In this volume we hear just how their verse is equally as telling, as emotional and as insightful and now, hopefully, as respected.Ver libro
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.Ver libro
