Lyrical and symbolic, The Trojan Mare by Marina Sur Puhlovski is a fascinating metaphor for the Yugoslavian society and political atmosphere in the period from 1929 to the late 1980’s.

Brimming with humor and biting political satire, the book offers multiple interpretations and thought-provoking narratives against the backdrop of broken dreams, setups, and an assembly of peculiar characters.

Politics, love, corruption, and betrayal are among the compelling themes in this stunningly imagined historical tale skillfully rendered in poetry - the story of a time, place, and broken people.
