Promotion of the poetry collection "Manifesto of Light" by the author Irene Ivanovic will be held tomorrow, in the Multimedia Hall of the KIC "Budo Tomović", at 19 p.m.

The book will be discussed by Prof. Dr. Cedomir Čupić, political scientist and professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Belgrade and Vanja Kovačević, a Montenegrin journalist and publicist. The verses will be recited by Anastasia Brajovic, former student of the "Slobodan Škerović" High School with guitar accompaniment Kristine Miljenovic, students of the Secondary Music School "Vasa Pavić" in Podgorica.

“There are books that open like doors, suddenly, clearly, with the intention of introducing. And there are those that open like a threshold. That is exactly what the poetry collection 'Manifesto of Light' by Irene Ivanović is like: quiet, unobtrusive, but deeply disturbing in its truth. It does not demand attention, does not explain itself or justify itself. Instead, it offers something rarer - a space for presence. At its center is not a voice that wants to be accepted, but a voice that bears witness. The invitation 'Come without asking. Stop without rushing' is not just a poetic decoration, but a way of reading and a way of encountering. This poetry does not seek a curious reader, but a ready one, one who will stop, listen and allow the text to touch them where words usually do not reach. The motif of light in the collection stands out in particular. It is not pure, untouched light, but one that has gone through fractures and darkness. A light that bears traces, that has been scratched and fought for. This is precisely where its strength lies: in accepting that dignity does not come from intactness, but from the ability to "rises again, changed, but steadfast," it is written about Irena Ivanović's book.
