"Ammiel Alcalay has done an admirable job of translating the poems of this unpretentious Bosnian poet... a volume of poetry worthy of [Mehmedinovic's] valuable and wise viewpoint."--American Book Review

Enigmatic and multi-layered, Islanders is about finding one's own hard-won truth. A young man's indelible memories of the struggle to find intimacy-formative experiences like the ebb and flow of friendships, love, and ordinary workaday life-are viewed through a lens of nostalgic longing and hard-eyed realism as he attempts to come to terms with the past. Set during the cataclysm of the last years of the war in Vietnam, in a landscape that shifts between the bleak fishing towns of the Atlantic coast to the ruined cities of the Northeast, Islanders explores the classic theme of identity's intricate relationship to place.
