MY MOUNTAINS

Poet Dr. Milan Socevic, through this work, has depicted the story of the period in the former Yugoslavia during the early 1990s.

This collection of poems is divided into sections, each representing a different part of the emotional register the poet experienced before and during the onset of the conflict. The emotions captured include an inner journey where love for the homeland grows stronger as it is challenged by outside forces, mirrored by the poet’s love for his wife and family.

Today, more than 30 years after the many developments in the Balkans, the poet sits in the far North, observing the world through the lens of experiences gained in southern Europe. These experiences now merge with his views on humanity and his understanding of the world, shaped through his life as a Danish citizen.
