Sinopse

The poems in this collection were written in Pristina and Prizren (Kosovo), and in Dubrovnik &ndash, each with their rich stories and heritage. The title represents a new era for the Balkan region, beyond the historical conflict of Kosovo&rsquo,s &lsquo,Blackbird Field&rsquo,, so poems are grouped in line with sunset, evening, or night falling on tranquil landscapes, beyond war. Early dawn promise is reflected in the later Dubrovnik section, with a final tale set on Mostar Bridge which has come to symbolise freedom and peace. &lsquo,Adéle Ogièr Jones takes us on a journey into the shadows of Kosovo struggling in the aftermath of war &ndash, trying to make sense of loss and displacement, and learning how to adjust to allow &lsquo,new harmonies&rsquo,. Her powerful poems make you simultaneously reflective and hopeful through stories only poetry can deliver.&rsquo, &ndash, Wendy Fleming (Melbourne Poets Union)á
