About the Book
Words from the Silence is a poetry collection by Miloš Brkić, originally published in Serbian in 2015. The book continues his lyrical exploration of silence, intimacy, memory, longing, and the inner spaces where feeling becomes language.
The collection carries a confessional and reflective tone, shaped by emotional vulnerability and the search for words that emerge from what is difficult to say directly.
In this book, silence is not absence, but a source of expression — a space from which the poem begins to speak.
From the Review
Miloš Brkić has created a distinctive poetry book, weaving the alphabet of sleep into interlaced meditations and emotions, subdued sentimental currents, and questions about the very purpose of the poem itself. In that sense, within the context of modern poetic efforts, we perceive this poetry as a significant result of devoted work and of a serious relationship with authentic lyricism.
This undoubtedly convinces us that we are dealing with the work of a grateful and firmly formed poet, to whom contemporary literary criticism still owes a more attentive reading.
