Senka Marić

She is best known for her work as a poet and for her 2018 novel Kintsugi Tijela, which draws from the author's own experiences with breast cancer.

[1][2] From 1991 to 1997, Marić fled the Bosnian War and lived in the United Kingdom, where she trained as a stylist at the Vidal Sassoon Academy in London.

[4][5][7][8] She has published three books of poetry: Odavde do nigdje ("From Here to Nowhere", 1997), To su samo riječi ("These Are Just Words", 2005), and Do smrti naredne ("Until the Next Death", 2016).

In 2019, it won the Meša Selimović prize [bs], a major literary award for novels published in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, and Serbia.
