Softcover

A book of documentary poetry. One of very few literary works that has cared for our bloody past. — Berat Armageddon

If you look for humanity in his poetry, you have it in abundance . . . The search for human love and transformation becomes his song . . . How long it has been since I have read poetry so interconnected, so human in the process of living it, with so many images, with so much liberating love . . . Bajraj is becoming a school of his own. — Angel I. Berisha, Iwa Bogdani, International Writers Association

Bajraj takes pleasure in the beauty that surrounds him, but in every scene a small door appears that pushes him toward pain; he wants to experience all the colors of life, but only death, which no one can control, owns all of them. — Zyrafete Ramadani-Shala, DialogPlus, Switzerland

I am attracted by Bajraj’s commitment and coherence; his ability to describe the bloodiest reality in a gray tone, almost unnoticed — if it were not for humor. — Ignacio Ballester Pardo, Contemporary Mexican Poetry

Bajraj is a poet of his homeland — as no other literary figure. — Muharrem Kurti, Voice of Albanians, Switzerland
