Kindness Separates Night from Day, by Marija Dejanovic, is a Bosnian poetry collection from Bosnia-Herzegovina, translated by Vesna Maric, published by Obrt za nakladnistvo, posrednistvo i trgovinu Sandorf in 2023. It is a Bosnian collection whose title alone offers a small moral cosmology, where kindness becomes the hinge between darkness and continuance. Rather than forcing the poems into a clean thesis, I would let the book remain somewhat unruly. Translation is useful exactly there, where the English line carries both arrival and residue. What matters is the reader’s permission to sit with that residue until feeling arrives before explanation. That small hesitation matters, because poetry often begins where summary stops being enough.
