Word by word, verse by verse, poet to poet, and that's how the third issue of the anthology "Mozaik" of the Nikšić Literary Club "Poenta Poetika", which operates within the "Zahumlje" JU, was created.
The young poet that "Poenta Poetika", led by the president of the Club Goran Radojičić, M.Sc., has successfully nurtured for seven years, shows that verses still live in the city under Trebjes, and that Nikšić's corso, for those who want to hear, still echo the words .
As the editor of the collection, Goran Radojičić, wrote in the introduction, "Mosaic" has become "an indicator of progress, improvement and superstructure" that the young poets of the "Poenta Poetika" KK strive for, but also represents "a kind of success for many young hopes of poetry to find themselves in to him".
"The new issue of 'Mozaik' brings the best that the 'Poenta Poetics' Literary Club can offer at the moment, both in terms of quality and number of published poets. Poets who in the previous period successfully fought with the impossibility of interacting with the audience due to the corona virus epidemic, finding numerous innovative ways of presenting their work, helped a lot to affirm the club and establish it on the Montenegrin literary scene," wrote Radojičić.
According to him, the anthology has an additional important role because it will enable the poetry of young poets to reach a large number of poetry lovers.
"This is exactly why the book is important, the touch with poetry, the smell of paper and the poetic spirit that we hid between the covers of the book. A large number of new members shows that young people want to unite in poetry, perhaps especially now when the usual gatherings are impossible", wrote Radojičić, who together with Obrad Nenezić seven years ago, offered young poets a safe haven, "Point Poetics".
Together with the Club, young creators grew, their verses matured, and they became "recognizable on the Montenegrin and regional literary scene as representatives of the younger generation of poets".
"As in the first two issues, many poets have their first, ever published verses here, which gives them the opportunity to be read and recognized. For us as a cultural institution and poetry club of young creators, this book is an indication that with the idea of establishing and preserving a youth club in Nikšić, we have achieved what was the wish of a large number of young creators who before that did not have enough space to express their work in the right way. ", are the words of the editor of "Mozaik".
The review is signed by Anđela Peković, who wrote that "The Point of Poetics" - with an alert mind and open arms - in this year's Collection brings poetry of a newer generation that, unconventionally and violently (and above all - artistically valuable), and how it corresponds to the times in which they live".
"All authors represented in the Collection leave behind precisely those poetic fruits that are a guarantee of individuality, anxiety that becomes beneficial, truth that subverts emotion and often takes the reader to the transcendent. Each one individually and all of them together show that poetry can be heard the farthest when there is nothing in it stained with tendentiousness, but when it is authentic and the result of the spiritual reach of the poet himself", said the reviewer of the Collection.
As she wrote, "it's amazing to have young poets who so early, so proud of themselves, bravely sing from their own habitus... poets who are at odds with themselves; poets whose poetry is fertilized by an enviable reading experience; old women poets; at the filigree-poetic masters, we witness real poetic contemplation. In addition to the layered emotion with which their poetry is enriched, in the disappearance there is the rambling that good poetry runs away from, but we leave it to such poetry to sharpen the style and define the thought and retain the emotion, proudly and knowingly".
She wished that the poetry found in the Collection "resonates beyond Nikšić, giving itself transterritorial comprehensibility, but also a memorable outfit that one cannot do without".
The publishers of the collection "Mozaik" are JU "Zahumlje" and the Literary Club "Poenta Poetika".
