Turning up bits of grammar, parts of speech, sharp-edged stones marking lost boundaries and structures, the ruins of an ancient city, Elmedin Kadric, ever the careful archaeologist, brushes away any and all dust concealing the poem. I’m amazed at what he discovers in us.
Elmedin Kadric travels many of the distance markers of lives won and lost and won back, and above all us reminds us we are all buying time like a soldier at a roadside diner. . . . Under the warmth of the sun, sit back and enter the marvellous world of Elmedin Kadric.
buying time, by one of the most interesting new haiku poets to emerge in the last few years, is full of fresh, startling perceptions and razor-sharp language. Several of these haiku seem destined to become new classics. This collection, which will appeal to readers of many tastes, rewards many rereadings.
