She has published two collections of poetry in Serbian (Atlantis, 2006 and Journey, 2008) (selections in English version have appeared in Sydney’s Masthead), and is now working on Internal Monologues, her collection in English. She has started the philosophical school of feminine feminism, which preaches equality of minds but not bodies, and considers history her playpen.
