Bio Sketch
Elmedin Kadric was born in Novi Pazar, Serbia, but writes out of Helsingborg, Sweden. His first collection, buying time (2017), was published by Red Moon Press.
The visually evocative and thematically significant juxtaposition of L1 and Ls 2&3 makes this relationship haiku emotionally effective.
ReplyDeleteNote: "the dandelion can be a symbol of life. ... The dandelion can also be associated with hope and dreams that come true. Because when children blow on dandelion fluff, they close their eyes and make a wish. When they see a dandelion head, they are reminded of all the things they have and will wish for."
