The Bosnia Poem: Lest We Remember
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Jim Crumley was born in Dundee in 1947 and now lives near Linlithgow, in Scotland where he is a full time writer. Poetry has featured in several of his eight books, mostly on the Scottish landscape. His last work Waters of the Wild Swan was published by Jonathan Cape in 1992 and Mainstream will be publishing his new book Among Mountains in October.
Submissions are being invited for a new anthology of poems for Bosnia. Poems should be sent to Ken Smith, 78 Friars Road, London E6.
For all of this week and next, the Daily Poem features a work suggested or provoked by events in Bosnia.
