Read an excerpt in Poetry Markaz, the poetry section of The Markaz Review.

In Jugoslovenska Kinoteka, Shira Wolfe's cinematic poetry reads like scenes from a movie, describing a period of her life spent in Belgrade and traversing the Balkans – from Sarajevo to the Bay of Kotor, from Stara Planina to Mount Avala. Most of all, it is an ode to the Belgrade of her past and the relationships she formed there, constellating around that city and continuously reappearing elsewhere in encounters fuelled by synchronicity. In her world, cities become smells; statues can be read; and the boundaries between art and life, between self and other, are always blurred.
