A MOTHER'S COMFORT

Meliha Suskavcevic

Born in the former Yugoslavia, I am a poet who carries the wealth of culture and tradition of the Balkans in my soul. My love for words and art is expressed through poetry and prose, combining experiences and inspiration from different worlds. I published a book of poetry in the country where I currently live, and my dream is to publish it in the United States of America, where I believe it will find its place among lovers of the written word. My poetry is lyrical, filled with emotions, memories and reflections that reflect a deep connection with life and love. Through vivid images and creative metaphors, I strive to convey my feelings and experiences to readers, taking them on journeys through worlds beyond the boundaries of everyday life. Muharem Bazdulj, a recognized writer, described my first collection of poetry like this: "Every first book of poetry is youthful, whether it is written by a poet in his teenage years or one who has passed his forties. What is youthful is primarily the experience that your subject is the entire world, the entire universe. The second, third and later books are necessarily thematically narrow, and this is the one in which you try to say everything. The first book of poetry by Meliha Suškavčević is a book of youth - in terms of courage, in terms of breadth. Already in the title - Nothing average in a cup of space - an old literary trope awaits us varied. Hamlet wanted to squeeze the universe into a nut shell, while Meliha Suškavčević puts it in a cup. It's a more optimistic picture - the cup is open from the top. The universe in the title of this book is not in a cup, because the cup has a handle. Holding onto the handle of her mother tongue, Meliha Suškavčević managed to shape her rich life experience, mostly articulated through photographs, into poetry. narrower and smaller than space." In addition to writing, I am engaged in artistic photography, which allows me to visually explore and express my artistic visions. My photos adorn the trucks of an American company, making the streets of New York and Miami my daily outdoor gallery. This unique form of advertising allows me to share my work with a wider audience, turning the cityscape into a dynamic art exhibition. My creativity is always in search of new ways of expression and communication with the world. Whether through words or images, I strive to leave a mark and inspire others to see the beauty and magic in everyday life. more…
