Aco Šopov: The YUniverse, Skopje, 1968

The first collection of satirical poetry in Macedonia, published in 1968, was written by Aco Šopov. Its title, The YUniverse (literally Yus Universum), set the tone:
Šopov parodied the society through the YUS standard, the equivalent of ISO on a national scale in Yugoslavia. “YUS has
become our second nature,” he said in an interview (1967). “We live, eat, judge, sleep, act and love according to the YUS”.
And the poet went on to comb through the yus-poets, yus-novelists, yus-critics, yus-competitors and various other yuspoliticians, well aware that “satire is a dangerous zone, a slippery slope that disrupts the peaceful order of things.”

The  books contents 22 poems. They are not translated into English.
