Unyielding and authentic humanity in all (evil) times necessarily results with a book like this one: the best of Croatian poetry written in the last couple of years. Let yourself fall in love with the Nietzchean life in all its ambivalence, with yourself and the Others no matter the horrors you left behind – as Ivana does – and this book will love you back! And that is the best thing that can happen to you, at least in verse.

While addressing the position of the woman, Bodrožić offers an intriguing approach. Some of the poems impressively detect the transgenerational transference of silent aversion between mother and daughter. Others detect a more general position of the woman, determined in Croatia by a still dominant patriarchal narrative. The author often opens this perspective with an ironic distance, stepping into a different space and escaping the standard blueprint of poetry permeated by feminist theories.

The lyrical subjects, consciously a tad naïve, use all that jazz to counter brutality, vulgarity and senselessness of the world they are faced with, not unlike the Americans in the movie Mars Attacks! fighting belligerent aliens with Slim Whitman’s evergreen.
