The roots of haiku poetry stretch back some eight centuries, only to reach its peak three-to-four centuries ago, and today, it is written by the poets all over the world, including some poets of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Now, we hear the voice of yet another Bosnian poet, this time hailing from Zenica, by the name Dr. Smajil Durmisevic. He represents a new name on the literary stage of Bosnia and Herzegovina. His first poetic creation, which is presented here, and his appearance in literature are interesting in more than one way. Smajil Durmisevic, a doctor of medical science, introduces himself with this manuscript as a knowledgeable and dedicated practitioner of haiku, a poet not seen and present in our community so far. His seventy-one haiku poems presented in this collection have as their intellectual-spiritual foundation a pronounced humane, humanistic, antimilitaristic, and ecological worldview of a man and an expert who, as a person and as a practitioner of a veritable humane activity – medicine - stresses and promotes the original and basic values of life, culture, and civilization. The most powerful motives of his haiku collection present the horrors of war, the infernal nature of evil, and the catastrophic consequences of the genocidal "project" implemented and perpetrated in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the early nineties of the 20th century.
