Collection – Kletva (hard cover)

Adrijana Husić, from Trace • Between The Roads Will Long for a Madman and The Curse, precisely one heavy sigh of time has passed. (…) I believe the pages before you carry an emotion different from that of wandering the roads. Together, we will follow the arc of a life—from birth to its end. From the first image of childhood to the final numbered planks. Not as a chronology, but as an experience. The way life truly carries us: never in a straight line, still less in an orderly one, but in surges of warmth and irony, tenderness and bitterness, laughter that hurts and pain that somehow becomes funny. (…) This book comes into our hands and yours on the anniversary of Vito’s birth—not in the least by chance. With it, we celebrate him, his life and everything he left us.

Danica Nikolić, from Thunder into Our Souls • With The Curse, the second collection of Vito’s poetry, we captured his rhythm and lifeblood. With the first collection, we gave his admirers the opportunity to enjoy, above all, the poetry itself, but also the harmony that emerged between the verses, illustrations, design and accompanying texts. With this second collection, we complete and bring the story full circle—before you are the poems of Vitomir Nikolić that were not included in the first volume. (…) I believe that this edition completes the publication of his poetic oeuvre, as not a single verse he wrote has been omitted. And that is what his admirers had wanted and deserved for many years.
