Gastarbeiter Poem
On October 19 and 20, 2020, the Faculty of Croatian Studies of the University of Zagreb hosted an international scientific-professional conference "Croatian Emigrant Poem - from Reality to Romanticism". In my welcome speech, I spoke about the multiple meanings of a half-century-old guest worker (Gastarbeiter) poem and paraphrased Max Frisch: "We sent workers, people left us."
