Deca (Children) is a book-length poem which, upon publication in 2021, won the NIN Book of the Year Award, the Serbian equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. In this page-turner, Marković tells the story of her life from childhood to child-rearing in one breathless push of narrative poetry. It is as unheard-of in Serbia as it is in the United States or elsewhere for a book of poetry to become a best-seller and its author a cultural hero, but this is what Milena accomplished with this book. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are grateful to Steven Teref \u0026amp; Maja Teref for this translation especially since their translation of Sympathy for the Salami was short-listed for the National Translation Award in 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45379913547799,"sku":"9781956921717","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/1785429018-900.jpg?v=1786142519","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/markovic-milena-childrenpb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
