ja nisam čovjek iz Sarajeva

u Sarajevu
april je zaista najokrutniji mjesec
gdje se miješa fantastika i horor u retortama tijelâ
duhovi vise u zraku, duhovi literarne šizofrenije
samo ih trebaš uzbrati, te tužne grozdove vasionâ
zbog čega ćeš plaćati vlastitom krvlju
na Bistriku i Kovačima kuće su ograđene visokim zidovima
a ljudske duše otvorene ko kupole otomanskih džamija
zrak je britak kao mjesec mrtvih
u kafanskim pričama rat nikad ne završava
raspoređuju se divizije među pivskim flašama
priča se o Srbima, Muslimanima i Hrvatima
o krivcima i žrtvama
stoput utvrđena „istina“ mjerka se nanogramskom vagom
jer je epska naracija plod crvenih krvnih zrnaca
ako je Brazil zemlja sa najviše fudbalskih selektora na svijetu
ovdje stanuje najveći broj drvenih filozofa i mizantropa
uprkos svemu što me razara i nakrivo oblikuje
i dalje učestvujem u tvom paradoksalnom mitotvorenju
Sarajevo, nisi mi dalo ništa
izuzev svoju poeziju.

* 14.04.1970, Bihać, Bosnie-Herzégovine
Réside à: Sarajevo, Bosnie-Herzégovine

Faruk Šehić was born in 1970 in Bihać, in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Until the outbreak of war in 1992, he studied veterinary medicine in Zagreb. However, the then 22-year-old joined the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in which he led a unit of 130 men. After the war he studied literature and has gone on to create his own literary works.

His second book ‘Hit depot’ (2003) was the absolutely literary bestseller in Bosnia despite that was a poetry book. His poems are about local (and global) feeling of capitalistic way of life mixed with desperate postwar life in ruins, remains of dead society in Sarajevo and Bosnia.

Literary critics have hailed Šehić as the leader of the ‘mangled generation’ of writers born in 1970s Yugoslavia, and his books have achieved cult status with readers across the whole region.

His collection of short stories ‘Under Pressure’ (Pod pritiskom, 2004) was awarded the Zoro Verlag Prize. His debut novel ‘Quiet Flows the Una’ (Knjiga o Uni, 2011) received the Meša Selimović prize for the best novel published in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Croatia in 2011 and the EU Prize for Literature in 2013. His most recent book is a collection of poetry entitled ‘My Rivers’ (Moje rijeke, Buybook, 2014) for whom he received Risto Ratković Award for the best poetry book in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Croatia in 2014. His books are translated into french, italian, german, english, bulgarian, macedonian, polish, slovenian and hungarian language. Šehić lives in Sarajevo and works as a columnist and journalist in respected political magazine ‘BH Dani’.
