# Kindness Separates Night from Day - Hardcover

by **Marija Dejanovic** (Author), **Vesna Maric** (Translator)

In _Kindness Separates Night From Day_, Marija Dejanovic "looks at herself from a distance until she recognizes herself." This collection is a marvel of refined verse that explores the concept of the eternal stranger: the self. As a deeply perceptive witness with a passion for reflection, Dejanovic's ideas unfold and bloom throughout as memory and history surface in the present, and recast it, to awaken readers from the slumber of self-evident happiness and make clear with crystalline imagery the beneficial truths of harsh realities.
