      The poems reflect on the impact of the 1990s wars in Bosnia-Herzegovina, exploring themes of loss, irony, and the stark contrasts between peace and conflict. Through sardonic humor, anger, and a celebration of life, the poet captures the complex emotions surrounding the dead and wounded. The collection not only mourns the fallen but also highlights the resilience of the human spirit. Accompanying photographs, taken from the poet's video footage, enhance the emotional depth of the work, providing a poignant visual context to the written word.
