Miloš Crnjanski: Selected Poems
In 1919, immediately after the end of the First World War, the appearance of "Lyrics of Ithaca" marked the beginning of a new world, which could not continue to create in the old way...
"The position, spirit, of our poetry, after the war and, I cannot help but write, after Skerlić, is completely new and changed. Ideas, forms and, thank God, and canons!
The latest art, especially lyrical poetry, presupposes certain, new, sensitivities. Those who cannot breathe outside of the pre-war, artistic atmosphere, approach it in vain."
The boldness of this statement by Miloš Crnjanski quite clearly expresses the aspirations that the writer undertook in his poetry.
