Summary
Predrag Lucić: Južno għadvo 2/2
Predrag Lucić (1964-2018), poet, satirist, playwright, journalist, editor and theater director, is widely known to the public primarily as one of the founders and editors of the legendary satirical and political weekly Feral Tribune, which in its almost two decades of existence, with its bold critical approach to social reality, as well as hilarious humor, profoundly changed our understanding of the space of civil liberties. Therefore, Predrag as an excellent journalist and satirist does not need to be introduced to anyone in particular, but when it comes to Lucić as a serious poet, regardless of the excellent reception of his two collections, Lovers from Verona (2007) and The Moon over Split (2012), perhaps only after these two volumes of the South Yard will it be appropriate to start a proper conversation. Because we have before us a testamentary edition that presents for the first time to the literary audience more or less the entire poetic oeuvre of Predrag, including the earliest one which, due to a combination of circumstances, lay scattered for years in his notebooks and poetic diaries, which he kept with greater or lesser deviations throughout his, unfortunately, insufficiently long life. - Damir Šodan (organizer)
