Summary

Vasko Popa: Secondary Heaven

The symbolic scope of Vasko Popa's third collection includes ancient symbols, alchemical experience, esoteric visions, Slavic folklore myth and is offered to the reader through associative images that the poet extracts from the treasury of collective memory.

Cosmological dreams in Secondary Heaven (1968), which oscillate between the humorous ambiguity of irony and darkly humorous absurdity, place man at the center of the cosmos, but also reveal the cosmos in man. In a series of related poetic riddles, the poet abandons sensory representations, the sky and heavenly bodies, in the manner of folk poetry, gives the aspect of the living, human, and sees the essence of objects, phenomena and illusions of the world with his inner eye.

The collection consists of seven cycles ("Yawning Over Yawns", "Signs", "Discord", "Supporting the Sun", "Discord", "Linden in the Heart", "Heavenly Ring"), and each of the cycles contains seven songs, which reinforces the recognizable structural cyclicity with the mysticism of numbers. The Pythagorean impulse of our most famous poetic astrologer, also realized in the song "Forgotten Number", makes this kind of space odyssey with a fairy-tale mechanism one of the best composed poetry collections in Serbian poetry.
