Kosovo: The song of the Serbs
Recreated here for the first time in any language as one unified, book length poem, the central theme of Kosovo is the Serbs’ defeat at the hands of the Turks in historic battle on
Kosovo Field, June 15, 1389 (June 28 by modern
calendar).
Following the catastrophy at Kosovo, the Serbs created a body of folk poetry which focussed on the significant, Kosovo-related personalities and events, interpretting them according to the consequences and ultimate effect these had on posterity. Here poetry and history meet and become part of the national character, thought, speech, conscience — a collective experience of an entire people. A good companion to “Mountain Laurel.”
