LIBERTY OF THE TYRANTS. And Other Poems of Love, Exile, and Resistance (eBook, poetry) by Taja Kramberger
This book contains the best anti-oppressive and defiant poems by Taja Kramberger, written during the brutal period of the university purge at the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Primorska/Littoral in Koper (2010–2012). The poet survived the purge and a social murder in her native Slovenia during this time. This small, invisible country is the perfect example of a camouflage democracy that commits its (perfect) invisible crimes in plain sight of the EU. Furthermore, nobody cares. The poems are from the poet's two best collections (From the Edge of a Cliff, 2011 and In Your Embrace, There is a Place for Me, 2014) before her exile and permanent emigration to France in 2016. The poems depict the general patterns of social dysfunction in a society based on the code of omertà and normalized dissimulation, which provoke harsh violence and lynching. This is one of Kramberger's most popular books, with universal poetic and social value. The book has stood the test of time (15 years) and is more relevant today than when it was first published. And its value continues to grow.

POEMS OF DEPARTURE. Verses of Invisible Inner European Exile and Resistance (eBook, poetry) by Taja Kramberger
What are the reasons for leaving one place and moving to another? When does a person decide to do this, when do we realize that our future within the borders of a single country is completely ruined, dead? What is worth saving? How does one cope with the sudden realization that they have spent decades in a society built on lies and horrors, and have even dedicated their best efforts and achievements to it? In this book, Taja Kramberger describes her reasons for leaving Slovenia (in 2012 exile and permanently in 2016) through a series of powerful poems. The book includes a short poetic essay on the key difference and incompatibility between true democracy and camouflaged democracy written in March 2022, during the war in Ukraine (and the poet already living in France), when the methods and hidden intentions of the latter were widely exposed.
