What is the ‘unconscious’ of rubble that can be put into a poem? http://www.mladenbizumic.com/post/16460070678http://www.mladenbizumic.com/post/16460070678Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:15:00 +0100CONTACT ADDRESS mladenmladen@yahoo.comhttp://www.mladenbizumic.com/post/13927896516http://www.mladenbizumic.com/post/13927896516Fri, 02 Dec 2011 17:04:00 +0100
