The debut work of Croatian writer Tomislav Šovagović, awarded the Josip and Ivan Kozarac Award in 2012, is a dedication to Slavonia – the region of his childhood that the author, born in Dalmatia, observes with foreign but tender eyes.
The songs are about growing up, overcoming fears, and building one's own identity. The work emphasizes the importance of support, friendship, and inner strength.
"Many years ago I published a number of poems, and forgot about them. I was fifteen years old at the time. Actually, I was thirteen or fourteen when I wrote them, and they were published as "Poems of a Fifteen-Year-Old" in the magazine Forum."
Ignored and harassed by the authorities, surviving on the help of relatives and publishing children's rhymes, this ingenious marginal left behind a veritable treasure trove of strange stories and twisted thoughts in his notes and notebooks.
In Leskarc's poems, we will quickly find themes about art and creativity, the Croatian language and folk customs, and national heritage.
