POETRY. A selection of poems from the renowned Croatian poet, muscular and uncompromising, musical and dark. Pogačar's biting ironies and narrative lyrics explore the myth that globalization will improve all lives, showing the fissures and violations that religions and governments alike cause, then justify. According to Kareem James Abu-Zeid, winner of the PEN Center USA Translation Prize, Pogočar reminds us that god(s) don't exist, that we have to find our individual paths in life, and take responsibility for it. His poems tell us to declare a war on those in power who act like god(s), to uproot from the plague of patriotism, nationalism, and opportunism. He also tells us to learn how to accept mortality, our own and that of others, and to try to love, in all possible and impossible ways.
