From a blurb for the book:
"A must-read for Ithacans and a great gift for others because of its unique poetic voice and way of treating conflict and post-conflict situations, and for its Ithaca associations. Sasha Skenderija is the only Bosnian poet now active in Ithaca (he is
a librarian at the Cornell Law School library) and certainly the only one referring to our Ithaca in his works, and Cornell Slavic teacher Wayles Browne is one of a very few translators from Bosnian literature who make their homes here."
