Summary

Mile Stojić: Exiled Elegies

Mile Stojić's poetry occupies a prominent place in contemporary Bosnian literature. Dominant feelings in his lyrics are regret and nostalgia, and the title of this representative selection from his poetry summarizes them effectively. In his best songs, Stojić skilfully interweaves poetry and a kind of engagement.
Poet, essayist and newspaper writer. From his first book of poetry to the present day, with his strong lyrical gift, Stojić fruitfully summons and interweaves a multitude of other voices from the best poetic and literary and spiritual heritage (Hölderlin, Ujević, Ben, Šimić, Celan, Šop, Milosz, H. Friedrich...) into his distinctly own poetic voice and rhythm. This is how one of the most individually consistent works in contemporary Bosnian and Croatian poetry was created, and is still developing. Permanently loyal to the original melancholic feeling of the world and the minor tonality of the song, Stojić, on the other hand, in an expressive and formal sense shows the courage of change that borders on peril. Namely, with the experience of war, as the universal downfall of humanity, he opens the discourse of his poem to raw reality, events, people, their suffering, colloquial language and prose mode, direct communicativeness. However, the risk turns out to be extraordinarily fruitful poetically, because openness to the outside does not result in cacophony, but, on the contrary, in newly discovered possibilities of melody and orchestration. Stojić has published books of poems Lijer, jezik duštuš (1977), Art of Darkness (1979), Earth Light (1983), Lead Pillow (1989), Southness, Choice (selected poems, 1990), Libretto for Pipe and Machine Gun (1994), Exiled Elegies (1996), Hungarian Sea (1999), After Judgment Day (selected poems, 1999), books of essays Morning in Pompeii (1998), Rijeci na prozoru (1999), Light in the eclipse of the sun (2002), and the anthology of Croatian poetry of the 20th century Behind lowered eyelashes (1991).
