Luka Mavretić’s third poetry collection “All My Loved Ones But Me” is a series of “inner journeys” – journeys that the author announces in the first poems of this very thoughtfully built piece. The young poet balances between lyrical verses and prosaic sentences, he strives towards a refined simplicity and manages to create a conversational tone, which is an important building block of his poetical world. An abundance of motives and a diary-like directness make this book an interesting and fresh collection. Even though he uses interpunction which creates finished, harmonical sentences and gives the text a prosaic tone, his verses remain verses, lines with a natural and easy flow. Despite a breezy atmosphere that the author creates, this is a collection of well thought-through and refined texts – Luka Mavretić is a poet who, in an alchemy of words, transforms chosen glimpses of reality into memorable and luminous images.

Diaries by the famous Croatian writer Ivana Brlić Mažuranić, written in the 1880s when she was fifteen to eighteen years old. The book provides insight into teenage life in the 19th century in Zagreb, the charming young character of the writer, her thoughts on literature, life and death, as well as the seeds of conflicts awaiting a female writer – all of which makes it a highly interesting read.
There is a door that we don’t know how to open. Behind them lies the solution to the riddle, the beginning-and-end. This door leading to afterlife or to the void, are constantly present in some way in the ninth poetry book of the noted Croatian author Marija Lamot. But there are also numerous smaller doors that open wide in her poems – doors leading to memories, landscapes, mirrors, moments scattered in time, flashes of an intense present. They lead into the night, into bright light, into a classroom where philosophy is discussed, into family spaces and, above all, to trees and other beings that do not speak in human voices.
An architect with previous experience as author, in his new book conceived as a sort of travel journal, Tomislav Pavelić reflects on the (co)relationships between man and nature, space and place, history and the present. At the end of his often erudite considerations, he asks questions that serve as both the starting point and the destination of these journeys. Without offering hasty answers, he invites us to approach universal problems with an open mind, illustrated in concrete examples of the regions visited, which form the colorful and dynamic decor of this book: places like Armenia, Sicily, Andalusia, Albania etc. All of these locations and cultures can teach us something about the past, but at the same time they allow us a clearer view into the murky and uncertain future of our civilization.
