PTSD Martini is a collection of poetry that explores the overarching themes of war, trauma, healing, gun violence, immigration, and identity. The poems in this collection seek to capture the emotional range of war and immigrant experiences, interweaving Slavic folklore, war diaries, and uniquely Balkan stories of love and loss. The result is a hard-earned celebration of resilience and the beauty evident in even harshest of situations. The poems are often presented from a perspective of a child, yet are bold and contemporary enough in a sense that they pose some provocative ethical questions, especially in the context of immigrant (non)adjustment to life in modern-day America. These observations are offered to the reader as a testament of a tender healing journey, with some universal, introspective insights.
