Summary/Abstract: Radovan Zogovic declares himself as a rival to the Avant-Garde, i.e. as a supporter of social-realist literature procedure in his essays. This paper deals with his explicit attitudes do not fully concur with the immanent poetics. In the opinion of critics, there was always a material cause as a precondition for the formation of his poetry that could have been any social event or occurrences in nature. Since the contemporary versology allows us to comprehensively study poems we conclude that the form of Zogovic verses‟ construction are pretty anti- traditional. The unequal length of verses and stanzas, frequent reduction of rhymes and punctuation and enjambement, by which technical and semantic independence was achieved (because sometimes one word is a bearer of verse), as well as the exclamativity of the lyrical subject’s positions are the elements of the expressionist proceedings equally represented in Zogovic’s free and rhymed verses.
