Contents
Early summer
A hunter
"In 1991, when Yugoslavia broke up..."
They took the men of military age
When my mother was killed
Messages
In the refugee camp
The thousands who disappeared
In the morning
Like an American movie star
The systematic destruction
Out of the shards of the ruined house
Why do men confuse
The drought
The Serbs won't let the Red Cross in
It was an open-air market
There was a woman in Bihac
"Towns we believe and die in"
The young Muslim said to his uncle
In Sarajevo there lived
Who dares to speak of Beauty
Our room
In August l9l4
Those who are forced to live in this city
One afternoon we separated
There was no inevitability
A young sniper
Like everything else
After the offensive
These crazy countries
Darling, your face is turning white
Exile from home
Banja Luka
The Bosnian Serbs are farmers
The West promises much
In Sarajevo I was happy --
My mother's death
If I could find sleep
It's very much like him
No no no you don't understand
Let me tell you the story of my friend
All that he'd hoped for
At a dinner
They are finding mass graves
Early October
Away
Winter snows
No one can tell you
The world is full.
