Kosovo War Poetry by David Roberts

Kosovo is the Serbs’ ancient homeland (as the 600-year-old Christian churches testify). Serbs and Albanians lived in relative harmony for may decades but in 1999 violent extremists agitated for Albanians to be independent of Serbia.
Inter-ethnic violence broke out and NATO countries, in a clear act of aggression, bombed Serb civilian infrastructure and few military targets. This bombing inflicted massive and long-term economic damage and caused great social distress. The poetry explores the human, military and philosophical dimensions.  Includes the widely studied  Pilot’s Testament.
