Since the end of the war in 1995, Bosnia & Herzegovina has been places / countries / territories in transition, torn between narrow nationalist narratives and expansive possibilities; suspended loss and recovery, pain and longing. Janus-faced, Bosnia still haunts our memories, raises our concerns about the future, but also intrigues and inspires us in the present. What does Bosnia evoke and epitomize for you? What do you see in Bosnia, and what do you not see? How does the language of image, poetry, and prose capture the complexities of Bosnia, from within and without? Descant is soliciting memories, concerns and present realities in submissions of unpublished fiction, poetry, essays, photography and previously unpublished works of translation.
