Summary
Martina Vidaić: Dark man Birger
About five years after her debut Era gmazov, which was awarded the Goran for young poets, Martina Vidaić appears with a worthy lyrical successor. The dark man Birger develops and writes on the poetic strategies and thematic-motive matrices outlined earlier: this quiet, confessional lyric, which sometimes grows into a deafening existential scream, is torn between the protagonist's meticulous exegesis and her - often somewhat resigned and listless - balance of power with the world. The tissue, which in the first book was above all the completely tangible, physical one, is now the tissue of everyday life, of routine over which, along with books and daily rituals, the boss: unrealistically small / word for deity watches over. In her grind, the unreal girls, who did not accidentally defect to this book from the famous title of Maria Čudina, after years of apprenticeship, run into a wall; years of wandering stuck in the dinner, couch, TV scheme. But it shouldn't bother you that there is a window on that intimate building, tightly fenced, and that window is wide open - through it you can see a plant in the foreground, those few leaves of poetry.
