As part of the IWP's "100 Words Project," writers from around the world have been invited to meditate on a given theme. This year's theme is "Peace/War." Each writer has responded to the theme by composing an original text of around 100 words. In these videos, the writers read and present their compositions aloud. Croatian poet Milos Djurdjevic has contributed this video for the project. He reads first in Croatian, then in English
