The Bosnia Poem: The Altered Slightly
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.

Glyn Maxwell was born in 1962, the son of an industrial chemist and an actress. In 1987 he won a major scholarship in poetry and playwriting at Boston University, where he studied under Derek Walcott. His first collection Tale of the Mayor's Son (Bloodaxe) was shortlisted for the Mail on Sunday/John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and the Sunday Times Young Writers Award. His second volume Out of the Rain (Bloodaxe) was also shortlisted for the Whitbread and Somerset Maugham Awards. His latest collection Gnyss the Magnificent: Three verse Plays (Chatto) was published in June.
The Daily Poem featuring a work suggested or provoked by events in Bosnia will continue next week.
