Product Description
Product Description
When Sprinting from the Graveyard was published in 1997, Goran Simic's poems were severely altered out of the fear that they might offend "Western sensibilities." These newly translated poems restore all that is offensive, despairing and necessary to our understanding of war by capturing the poems' original power and humanity. In addition, this collection contains both previously unpublished poems, written "under the candlelight" of the siege, and new poems returning to the sniper's alleys and bunker of Sarajevo. From Sarajevo, With Sorrow is a disturbingly resonant, timely and important collection.
About the Author
Goran Simic was born in Bosnia in 1952 and has published eleven volumes of poetry, drama and short fiction; his work has been translated into nine languages and has been published and performed in several European countries. One of the most prominent writers of the former Yugoslavia, Simic was trapped in the siege of Sarajevo. In 1995 he and his family were able to settle in Canada as the result of a Freedom to Write Award from PEN. Immigrant Blues is Simic's second full-length volume of poems in English, and the first to be published in Canada.
