“Like a trickster, Kadric plays with subtle changes in language that almost hoodwink the eye and the mind and, at times—like a koan—make one ever so gently levitate.”
-Scott Metz
Elmedin Kadric
Elmedin Kadric is a minimalist haiku poet writing out of Helsingborg, Sweden. His first full-length collection, buying time (2017), was awarded second place at the Haiku Society of America Merit Book Awards for excellence in haiku poetry.
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.

With RUST, Kadric elevates me to new haiku heights. I experience clarity in the poet’s original voice
dandelion silent, caught in the thrill of bittersweet vibration, with each turn of the page.
Elmedin Kadric, master of micro poetry. The collection is uniquely beautiful and all its own.
