Summary
Drago Glamuzina: Is that all?
Eight years after his first collection of poems, Drago Glamuzina seems to want the book Is that all to silence the murmurs of lovers' sufferings or - observe them from a greater distance. No matter how much Mesari, after all, like the novel Tri, closely interfered with it, proceeding from a similar imagination, here the inner world of the lyrical protagonists is more emphatically created from the outside, with signals of an ambiguous reality. In the midst of it, it seems, is a different/secondary status of reality than the author's previous conception, a reality that is spiritualized through discrete interventions.
Literally recording sometimes dramatic, sometimes completely ordinary fragments from family everyday life (most often in the relationship: father - son, husband - wife), the author constantly mixes the everyday and the spiritual, which underlines some new directions of his poetic design, remaining of course still faithful to the strategy that we mostly recognize as one of the versions of lyrical neo-existence. The new/old poetic imagination of Dear Glamuzine, at the same time, not by chance, counts on the rhythmic increase of literalness and precise statements in order, almost as a rule, to create a complex reality of the text-world.
