Emigrant literature is an international term, not limited to one social community or a specific period. It occurs when it loses its connection with parent culture and is created by people who are forced, directly or indirectly, to leave their homeland. When we talk about the poetry of Croatian emigrant literature we need to be aware that the poem was the first expression that left the impression under the "foreign sky". From the first day of their departure from the homeland, the poets have remained connected to her by impressing in the verses of her thoughts, feelings and love for her homeland. Croatian poets have talked in their poems in various ways about the condition they found. One speaks of virtuosity of modernity, others as traditionalists; one thought shapes as a protest and cry, the other as a quiet tear. The motifs, contents and beauty of emigrant poetry will enrich Croatian poetry, while emigrant poetry is a mirror of Croatian life in the stranger. Poets speak of life outside the homeland, of constant wandering, and finding themselves in a foreign world in which they feel like eternal strangers. The insecurity of this wandering life was found in the motif of the mother. The mother's motif is figured as the necessary security, peace and unconditional love. Mother is also Homeland which to an emigrant represents security, something familiar and close. The emigrant is struggling for a lifetime to return to his homeland, returning to his roots where the old mother is waiting for him. The motif of the mother who has resonated with the motif of the homeland is met with the poetry of most emigrant writers: Ljubo Wiesner, Vinko Nikolić, Boris Marun, Viktor Vida, Rajmund Kupaero, Marijan Mikac, Stjepan Hrastovec, Marijan Karaban, Ivo Lendić, Srećko Karaman. Vinko Nikolić is experiencing his mother and homeland with the gentle nature of their son, expressing one another with emotional persuasion and simple sincerity. Unlike him Wiesner mentions mother, to whom he has as a real person, but also national symbol, dedicated many of his beautiful verses. Wiesner describes his mother as sufferer, not only because she is a mother, but also because she is the mother of a Croatian poet, who pleads to the Supreme to assure a place for her in Paradise as he says "a warm place."
