<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Ivana Bodrozic's <i>In a Sentimental Mood </i>is emotional, but never woeful, deliberate, yet playful poetry capable of reaching both the highest and deepest registers of expression. From abstract jazz-inspired musings to bedroom intimacies, these poems converse with the idea that being alone is not the worst thing that can happen to a person. To lose your dignity and the dignity of your words--that is the worst thing.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"In this vibrant collection Ivana Bodrozic, a voice of a generation marked by war, frames poems of loss, love, and trauma in jazz classics, lifting the haunting past into the realm of music giants. Astute, playful, interrogating, and dexterously rendered into English by Ellen Elias-Bursac and Damir Sodan, these poems move with sustained passion and intimate precision." --Andrea Jurjevic, author, <i>Small Crimes</i><br><br>"Just finished <i>In a Sentimental Mood</i>. Which did, indeed, put me in a sentimental mood. Very beautiful collection of poems." --Hannah, Porter Square Books<br><br>"In this brave and fresh poetry with (no) sentimental mood, "the bIeeding/ is what's/ in the middle" - between the comfort and the disaster, the laugh and the cry, the joy and the sadness, the tenderness and the cruelty, the peace and the war, the summer atmosphere and the grave stones, the Eros and the Thanatos, the ethics and the esthetics, between the life and the death." --Lidija Dimkovska, author, <i>A Spare Life</i> and <i>ph Neutral History </i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ivana Bodrozic </b>lives in Zagreb, Croatia.
