Mehmedalija "Mak" Dizdar (17 October 1917 - 16 July 1971) was one of the greatest Bosnian and Yugoslav poets of the second half of the 20th century. Mak Dizdar was born to a Bosniak family in StolacBosnia and Herzegovina in 1917. In 1936, Dizdar relocated to Sarajevo where he attended and graduated from the Gymnasium. Dizdar spent his World War II years as a supporter of the Communist Partisans. He moved frequently from place to place in order to avoid the NDH authorities' attention. After the war, Dizdar was a prominent figure in the cultural life of Bosnia and Herzegovina, working as the editor-in-chief of the daily Oslobođenje (Liberation). He served as head of a few state-sponsored publishing houses and eventually became a professional writer and the President of the Writers' Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a post he held until his death. Dizdar's two poetry collections and series of longer poems, Kameni spavač ("Stone sleeper") (1966--1971) and Modra rijeka (1971), fused seemingly disparate elements. He drew inspiration from pre-Ottoman Bosnian Christian culture, from the sayings of heterodox Islamic visionary mystics, and from the 15th century Bosnian vernacular linguistic idiom. His poetry referenced medieval Bosnian tombstones ("stećci" or "mramorovi" - marbles) and their gnomic inscriptions on the ephemerality of life. It articulated a distinctive vision of life and death, drawing on Christian and Muslim Gnostic sensibilities of life as a passage between "tomb ...

Bosnia and Herzegovina is one country divided into two separate governmental entities and populated by three ethnic groups with strong cultural identities- Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims), Croats and Serbs. This triangular shaped country on the Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe is bordered by Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro. In determining whether to separate from Yugoslavia in 1991, Bosnia and Herzegovina became involved in a devastating three-year civil war. Fighting broke out along ethnic lines where few cultural differences had previously existed. The war left over 200000 people dead, half the population displaced, and much of the country's infrastructure and economy destroyed. The 1995 Dayton Peace Accord ended the war and established a governmental plan to include all three ethnic factions. The new plan called for dividing the country into two entities - the Bosnian-Croat Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Bosnian Serb Republic or Republika Srpska. Each entity has its own governing powers with a central Bosnian government having three presidents -- one from each ethnic group -- who rotate every eight months. International peacekeepers from NATO and more recently the European Union have helped stabilize the country, but with unemployment as high as 50-70% in some areas, addressing economic issues is a priority. Bosnia and Herzegovina's desire to be a part of the European Union is a big motivation to improve the economy, but greater steps toward resolving ...

Nermin Ahmić represented Bosnia and Herzegovina in literature at the XV Biennial of Youth Artists from Europe and the Mediterranean (BJCEM) at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome (MACRO). On the XV Biennial theme ''Symbiosis?'' he responded with two poems ("In A Cluster of Golden Crickets, 2010" and "And?, 2011"), and a drawing ("Steppenwolf, 2011"). For his work, Nermin Ahmić received impressive critics which categorized his work as one of the best seen at the recognized International Festival. He represented this work on the Festival Sarajevo Winter 2012, after which he is named as the most talented and serious young poet of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ahmić explains: "The theme symbiosis pervades, as dense embroidery, different layers of the pieces. Symbiosis is present in a first thematic concentric layer. It also appears in the unification and fusing of poetry and painting through a synaesthetic impression of phonemes and sounds as colors. Moreover, it is present in the architectonic of the poetry through the eclectic combination of different technical and stylistic elements such as Rimbaud's synaesthesis, Lorca's assonance and alliteration, echoes of the French symbolists and surrealists, Dante triplet and classical metrics." In a cluster of golden crickets in a cluster of golden crickets in the air strewn with sand hidden behind quivering faces on the purple glade of dream above reef and cliffs beneath the foam of sea waves the eye suspects the darkness of green ...

Mehmedalija "Mak" Dizdar (17 October 1917 - 16 July 1971) was one of the greatest Bosnian and Yugoslav poets of the second half of the 20th century. Mak Dizdar was born to a Bosniak family in StolacBosnia and Herzegovina in 1917. In 1936, Dizdar relocated to Sarajevo where he attended and graduated from the Gymnasium. Dizdar spent his World War II years as a supporter of the Communist Partisans. He moved frequently from place to place in order to avoid the NDH authorities' attention. After the war, Dizdar was a prominent figure in the cultural life of Bosnia and Herzegovina, working as the editor-in-chief of the daily Oslobođenje (Liberation). He served as head of a few state-sponsored publishing houses and eventually became a professional writer and the President of the Writers' Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a post he held until his death. Dizdar's two poetry collections and series of longer poems, Kameni spavač ("Stone sleeper") (1966--1971) and Modra rijeka (1971), fused seemingly disparate elements. He drew inspiration from pre-Ottoman Bosnian Christian culture, from the sayings of heterodox Islamic visionary mystics, and from the 15th century Bosnian vernacular linguistic idiom.
