In a haiku poem, we come across transpositions and inversions of common, everyday expressions. The pearls of that poetry are not only sparks in the darkness of life, but also a cognitive breakthrough into its pores.
The sixth collection of haiku poetry by a contemporary Croatian poet was published simultaneously in Croatian and English (English translation by Nikola Đuretić and Saša Važić).
He was left alone in the world when playful hunters, hunting pheasants, shot from a double barrel and hit his parents, who were forced by the dogs to fly from the bushes where they were pecking at snails.
