Full Description
Dubravka Djuric' s The Politics of Hope selects from a lifetime of writing by one of Eastern Europe' s most engaging living poets and feminist theorists. Djuric writes through the changes in governance in Yugoslavia to the horrors of civil war to the new Serbia that is emerging as one of the most independent states in Europe. Djuric' s forms range from short prose blocks to multi-page field poems linking the radical changes in her national identity to the radical strategies and formats of the avant garde. Djuric formulates the politics of identity through nation state, language, and poetic form showing readers how these issues have changed since the 90s civil war in the former Yugoslavia.
