Summary
Silvije Strahimir Kranjčević: Heronejski lion - selected poems
Heronejski lion contains poems published in the author's poetry collections, Bulgarian women, Izabrana pjesme, Trzaji, Pjesme, and poems from the poet's literary legacy selected by Daniel Miščin. Looking at him in his most important, anthological poems, he is a poet of titanic strength and courage to face all the consequences of the deepest existential, social and metaphysical questions. He is certainly not a poet of shallow answers, but he is certainly a poet of deep questions. And it's as if his entire poetry is crystallized in the Lion of Heronea: the mysterious light of the moonlight and the longing for the ideal of freedom immersed in the context of ancient history. In the glow of the night ceremony in Heronea, Kranjčević comes before us, whose poetic and life fate is constantly refracted through two determinants: the fate of a tireless messenger of faith in ideals in which, like his Moses, Kranjčević sees the dawn, and through the fate of a tragic genius who is not allowed to enter the land of tranquility. selection and afterword: Daniel Miščin
