From one of Bosnia's most prominent poets and writers: spare and
haunting stories and poems that were written under the horrific
circumstances of the recent war in Bosnia-Hercegovina. Semezdin
Mehmedinovic remained a citizen of Sarajevo throughout the Serbian
nationalists' siege and was active throughout the war in the city's
resistance movement, as one of the editors of the magazine "Phantom of
Liberty." "Sarajevo Blues" was originally published at the end of 1992
and was the first book in the Biblioteka "egzil-abc" series, published
in Ljubljana, which provided a forum for Bosnian writers and translators
under siege or living in exile.
