Since its introduction in the 1930s, haiku has become the most popular literary form in the Balkan region. Knots is the first anthology of Balkan haiku, with selections by 125 poets from II countries. It has become the most widely discussed haiku volume in Europe, not only for its remarkable poetry, but also for its interesting editorial decision to print all the work in English, the international language of haiku. These translations are sharp and modern, and set a new standard for European haiku, and the translation of haiku in general. The volume has been praised as "a remarkable achievement" Modern Haiku and "a testament to the haiku form that somehow transcends the impositions of the historical forces that brutalize us" Frogpond . In addition, the striking and powerful design and illustrations by Slavoljub Stankovic set the perfect tone for the whole volume.
