My Rivers<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0by Faruk \u0160ehi\u0107. Translated from the Bosnian by S.D. Curtis<\/p>\n

ISBN: 978-1-912545-353<\/p>\n

\u201cMy Rivers\u00a0is fed from the headwater of the Bosnian war by memories that mix and dissolve in the estuary of our present.\u00a0Sometimes\u00a0Faruk \u0160ehi\u0107’s\u00a0swirling words are expansive and deep; at other times his language narrows, silted by mourning, but such wetlands are generative. This poetry is fresh water that carries vital salts and nutrients to us.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0David Howard<\/strong><\/p>\n

My Rivers<\/em>\u00a0is an event in four cycles: The Loire, The Spree, The Drina and the Beyond the River. Never overly strict in form, \u0160ehi\u0107\u00a0wants his poetry to reach a wide range of readers, dealing with themes of post-war reality and the culture of remembrance in a wider context than his homeland. The book seeks catharsis, to the extent to which it is possible in a post-conflict society like Bosnia, along with celebrating the universal themes of intimacy, love, freedom.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“\u0160ehi\u0107\u2019s fine eye for detail serves to aestheticize atrocity without ever fetishizing it \u2026Brilliant, insightful, poetic, and breath-taking”<\/em>\u00a0LA Review of Books<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThrough his exploration of war and peace, innocence and grief, \u0160ehi\u0107 has composed a humbling meditation on an existential conundrum that is central to collective and private trauma, but also to more ordinary human experience: how to keep the inner self whole in a world that will assault it in unimaginable ways.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
