About the Author

picture of me

Uros Dresevic was born in Belgrade in 1969. Both his parents being mathematicians, young Uros had a strong focus on mathematical disciplines. He went on to earn a degree in electrical engineering from the University of Belgrade. Shortly afterwards, Uros immigrated to Australia where he worked as a software engineer. The new environment had a significant impact on his life. As well as expanding his horizons and modifying his views, he discovered a new passion – writing poetry. His zeal for writing continued to grow during his subsequent travels around the globe. Upon his return to Australia, he completed A Manifold World. Uros currently lives in London.

Excerpts

Crossroads

(Part I "The Creation", Outback Australia)

'I am struggling to understand,
the wounded mind’s not clever.
You’re drifting away from me
though you said you’d love me forever.'

'I am leaving you now,
but I promise you again,
I did love you forever,
then.'

Still Life

(Part II "The Evolution", The plains of Africa)

It all started here,
on these grassy plains,
the rhythm of the drums
and dancing for the rains.

When they didn’t come,
we spread in search of them.
We adapted to new worlds,
turned yellow, white and red.

Some are still leaving,
but some will remain,
will always be black,
and be dancing for the rain.
