| Synopsis: |
Written during and after the disintegration of Yugoslavia, this book presents a complex vision of the Balkans that flinches from neither brutality nor beauty but honours dignity and courage. The book starts with a tour-de-force, the long poem "Do vidjenje Danitse" ("Goodbye Balkan Belle"), and continues with a series of memorial tablets for victims of Jasenovac concentration camp. The book includes a sequence in memory of the Serbian, Yugoslav and Mediterranean poet, Ivan V. Lalic. "Under Balkan Light" forms the final part of Richard Berengarten's "Balkan Trilogy" and is published together with the first two parts, "The Blue Butterfly" and "In a Time of Drought". It is also the fifth volume in the "Salt" series of his "Selected Writings". Richard Berengarten used to be known as Richard Burns. With the publication of this book, he now repossesses the family name of his father, the cellist and saxophonist Alexander Berengarten. |
