Across the Editor's Desk

Traveller by Origin
Putnik postanjem

by Dejan Bogojević

A nicely-produced new collection from this young Serbian author and publicist. While his voice is certainly original, the immediacy of his verses is at times diluted in translation.

in the room
where I haven't been lately
skeleton of a swallow
u sobi
u kojoj dugo nisam bio
skelet laste
volcanoes are collecting
sorrow of this world-
angels and gods
vulkani okupljaju
tugu ovog sveta -
andjeli i bogovi
a boy in wheelchair-
catches the first snowdrops
and laughs, laughs
dečak u invalidskim
kolicima - hvata prve pahulje
i smeje se, smeje
the cross at night
so that I would sleep
without eyelids of white mornings
u koći krst
da zaspim bez
kapaka belih jutara
