Tomislav Tommy Andric

I was born in Živinice, Bosnia and Herzegovina, live in Melbourne, Australia, with my wife Nevena.

Blue-collar, moderately optimistic. “I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious”. (Albert Einstein).

I write lyric poetry; some say it’s very dark, raw to the core, believable and cynical.

My books of poems include Graffiti from a Small Town, published in 2002 and Life Doesn’t Dance published in 2014.

Collaborated with the band Zabranjeno Pušenje on albums Muzej revolucije (Museum of the Revolution, 2009), Radovi na cesti (Road Works, 2013) and Šok i nevjerica (Shock and Disbelief, 2019).

Literary obsessed with suffering, love and religion.

My poems are dedicated to all those who live for revolt, liberty and passion.

And to others who don’t.
