Born in Barice, in Bosnia, in 1943 of a family of the Xoraxané group. He wandered around Europe with his people. He died of an incurable illness in 1982. As a lad, in the short stays in villages and towns he attended school, and so learned to put into verse his gypsy life, with all its problems and emargination, and also its unlimited spaces. From his sense of observation and desire for knowledge came his splendid poetry. Some are part of a volume in Serbo-croatian, “Zvjezde putuju” (Stars on the road); “Rasim, poeta zingaro”, a volume of poems in Romany with facing Italian translation, has recently been published in Italy. Rasim was not only a poet, but also an excellent writer of fiction, as can be seen in his stories published in “LD”.
