It was also a journey of first times: the first time that I met somebody flying from the first time, the first time that I met so many poets altogether and who welcomed me in their group, the first time I had a cut-throat shave and the first time I had some handmade bespoke boots.
Some of the poets I met were the Croatian poet Katica Felštinski and the Italian poet Giuseppe Napolitano (their pictures below). They and other poets were in Sarajevo for the UNESCO World Poetry Day and poetry marathon organised by the cultural organisation Diogen.
Finally, somebody did really make a difference to this trip, somebody most friendly and helpful: Juliet, a young Anglo-Australian woman that has decided to make Sarajevo her home and you can see here her visual journal of her life in her new town.
