Summary

Ivan Babić: Chet Baker on the Beach

In the collection of the acclaimed and award-winning poet Ivan Babić, "Chet Baker on the Beach", one can see on the one hand the maturity, clarity of concept and stylistic certainty of an experienced writer, on the other hand the talent for a short form that combines the lyrical and the meditative, and within which the author manages to virtuosoly translate the elements of sensory, organic reality into imaginative metaphor. The dominant thematic backbone of these subtle songs is love. The premonition of opening up to another person, the fragility of closeness, unrest, hope and absence alternate like musical variations in a book that, as the title already testifies, is inspired and imbued with music. However, music is most present in the songs of the central, titular cycle, where it appears in a multiple role – as a stimulus to language, as an opportunity for dialogue across the barriers that separate different artistic disciplines, as an embodiment of psychological states and moods. Breath and breathing are woven through the manuscript as an organic link between music and song, but also as the presence of the living world of nature for which the author shows a special sensibility (noted in his previous collections as well).

Babić's sense of language is manifested in the lexical abundance, the flexible sentence that manages to remain light despite the complexity, the imaginative but unobtrusive creation of neologisms, the ability to use well-chosen words to create a small, concise and rounded whole.
