 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."
