THE RHAPSODY OF THE ANT WOMAN is a collection of selected poems weaved together into one poem, mainly expounding esoteric teachings. The first-person narrative of the ant woman represents the human soul who awakens from the state of torpor and then takes on a journey of passing beyond the deserts of the self. Many of its parts propound the doctrine that the awakened soul, through experience of overwhelming love alone, can progress along a path, which can ultimately lead to re-absorption into the absolute reality. Other parts, while transforming belief or dream visions into poetry, imply a certain expatriation of mind, engrossment with life and spirit of another than oneself. Yet others are considerably mixed with extraneous matter of the world presenting a panorama of contemporary society. Each chapter of the poem has alongside a corresponding art work drawing in a symbolical framework complementing the poetical imagery.

It consists of nine case studies and two contributions of a more theoretical nature. Each of these analytical narratives sheds some light on the micro-politics of organised violence. After 1990, Serbs and Croats were competing over access to the resources needed for institution building and state building. Fear in turn triggered ethnic mobilisation. An 'unprofessional' riot of Serbs in the Krajina region developed into a professional war between Serbs and Croats in Croatia, in which several thousand d...
THESE inspiring poems accompanied with drawings touch on a wide spectrum of life, offering fresh depth and dimension, as well as newer planets of meaning to the dynamics of changing existence. The poems, sharp and at times brutally to the point, also engage a sensitive contemplation of emotion, a concern as much of the spirit as of the intellect in the arena of human aspiration and endeavor, seasoned with moral ambiguities and conflicts, existential layers of crises, but also with arcs of actions that bend toward shores of reawakening, avowing peace, love, and human brotherhood. "This well-timed and enlightening volume of poetry with drawings is at this juncture of distinct interest. Rizaj's...
Queen Teuta of Illyria was not only a famous Warrior Queen that lived almost two hundred years before Cleopatra, but her love for King Agron was one of the most legendary love stories in history. BESA PO is inspired by the true story of love, loss, betrayal, victory and defeat. BESA is a code of honor, a promise to protect someone or a Kingdom even with their life. PO is the word YES in Illyrian. Queen Teuta gave her BESA PO to King Agron and the people of Illyria. During the years of 231 BC to 227 BC, in order to fulfill her promise after the Kings tragic death, she challenged the mighty Roman Army and Navy. The Romans learned of her fierceness and skill in battle suffering humiliating defeats. They feared her, turned her own flesh and blood against her, captured her Kingdom but never captured her. Venture back into ancient times and discover Queen Teuta's story, a love so deep it spans the ages, leadership so compelling that Rome was put to shame. One of the first women to rise to power in the Kingdom of men.

THE SLICED LAND AND OTHER STORIES offers exceptional narratives based on true events that trace the declines and the ascents of what constitutes human nature and the nature of things. Themes and issues of war and war crimes, the nature of faith, integral consciousness and submission to God's will, and encyclopedic plagues of homelessness, human and environmental disconnection and degradation are woven throughout for the reader's contemplation. Through glimpses of contemporary family estrangements, fleeting love and self-betrayal, as well as the negligence and the ethical vacuum of the conventional medicine of our times, the book raises many universal questions and renders penetrating insights of the contrasts and degrees in human vicissitude, which can inspire thoughtful individuals to live more constructively and graciously in a muddled and traumatized world. This can always be achieved, the author asserts, by taking refuge in belief based on argument and investigation, hope preserved within the love of truth, and aspirations propelled by the power of the awakened universal vision of primal Wholeness.
In Jerusalem, Israeli and Jordanian militias patrolled a fortified, impassable Green Line from 1948 until 1967. In Nicosia, two walls and a buffer zone have segregated Turkish and Greek Cypriots since 1963. In Belfast, "peaceline" barricades have separated working-class Catholics and Protestants since 1969. In Beirut, civil war from 1974 until 1990 turned a cosmopolitan city into a lethal patchwork of ethnic enclaves. In Mostar, the Croatian and Bosniak communities have occupied two autonomous sectors since 1993. These cities were not destined for partition by their social or political histories. They were partitioned by politicians, citizens, and engineers according to limited information, ...
