Dubravka Djuric’s The Politics of Hope selects from a lifetime of writing by one of Eastern Europe’s most engaging living poets and feminist theorists. Djuric writes through the changes in governance in Yugoslavia to the horrors of civil war to the new Serbia that is emerging as one of the most independent states in Europe. Djuric’s forms range from short prose blocks to multi-page field poems linking the radical changes in her national identity to the radical strategies and formats of the avant garde. Djuric formulates the politics of identity through nation state, language, and poetic form showing readers how these issues have changed since the 90s civil war in the former Yugoslavia.
Dubravka Djuric was born in Dubrovnik (now in Croatia). A poet, critic, and Professor at the Faculty for Media and Communication in Belgrade, she received her PhD in Literary Theory from the Faculty of Philosophy, Novi Sad. Since 2015, she has acted as President of the Serbian Association for Anglo-American Studies. She has published numerous books of criticism and studies of poetry and art. Her poetry has been translated into English, Polish, Italian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Slovenian, Albanian, and Hungarian. She lives in Belgrade with her husband, Miško Šuvakovic.
