Kiše
Pero Zubac’s 1989 poetry collection presents a distinctive, melancholic, and intimate lyricism in which motifs of rain, transience, love, and memory are interwoven into rhythmic and emotionally warm verses.
The poetry collection Kiše (Rains) by the renowned Yugoslav and Serbian poet Pero Zubac, published in 1989, represents a striking achievement of his mature lyrical phase. Best known for the cult poem "Mostarske kiše" (Mostar Rains), Zubac here returns to the motif of rain—not merely as a meteorological phenomenon, but as a profound poetic symbol of transience, memory, and sorrow, as well as emotional catharsis. Through verses that are lyrical, melodic, and rhythmically refined, the author creates an atmosphere of quiet melancholy and nostalgia. The poems explore the realms of past love, long-ago encounters, silences, and inner turmoil. In his poetry, rain serves as both a backdrop and a companion to the poet's reflections on the passage of time and on emotions indelibly etched in memory. Zubac’s expression is direct, accessible, and free of unnecessary obscurity, allowing it to easily resonate with readers. Dating back to the late 1980s, the Kiše collection stands as a compelling continuation of the author's distinctive lyrical style, confirming Pero Zubac’s status as one of the region's most beloved and subtle masters of love and intimate poetry.
