Father Narcisa Vukojević, Lana Cavar

Father is a logorrheic and powerful poem with two protagonists: the author’s father, and their homeland of Central Bosnia — both with permanent post-traumatic stress disorder induced by the war. Font characters on the book cover are recreated from the characters used in the covers of the books by Nobel laureate Ivo Andrić, published by Zagreb’s Mladost in the 1960s. The title and the author’s first and last name are arranged in a triangle formation which resembles the shape of the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
