Featured book
Byzantine Blue
Народна библиотека Требиње · 2026
Vera Basor’s fourth poetry collection. “Byzantine Blue” is her entelechy: a search for the blue, for the heights, for the boundless. In poems where everything has scent, light, sound, and breath, the poet seeks the essence of the world and quietly assures the other that they are “not alone.” The collection was presented to readers at the National Library of Trebinje.

Welcome
I created this space as a meeting place — of words and readers, of languages and cultures, of what is said and what lingers between the lines. Here you’ll find my poetry, short stories, and reflections, in both Serbian and English, because I believe a beautiful word doesn’t stop at borders.
The River's Dream
Summary – The River's Dream The River's Dream is a lyrical meditation on the journey of life, memory, and the eternal search for belonging. Through the symbol of the river, the poem explores the human experience as a continuous flow between origin and destiny. The river becomes a living presence that dreams, remembers, longs, and carries within it both beauty and quiet unrest. Rich natural imagery—the moon, stars, freshly cut grass, and the vast blue sea—creates a timeless landscape where nature reflects the inner world of the human soul. As the river follows its course toward the sea, it becomes a metaphor for humanity itself: born from the earth, shaped by time and memory, and ultimately returning to the infinite. The poem celebrates the profound bond between humanity and nature while contemplating themes of transience, hope, identity, and the enduring cycle of life.
The sublime feeling from which time is born.
Will darkness be overcome by darkness, or by the strength of the eternal radiance of the sun?
Praise
“Before us is a book that will find its place in contemporary Serbian poetry.”
“In her poetry synaesthesia reigns: everything has scent, light, sound, and breath.”
“Vera Basor’s poems are her footsteps across the empty fields of hope.”
About the author
Writing is a bridge that forms a lasting bond between different worlds, an acquaintance you meet by chance, and something stirs in you, opening the way to a new world: richer, more creative, better. Our mysterious sky holds all the secrets of life that we are meant to uncover together, we who are different. I invite you to dive with me into this new, mysterious sky of our lives.
