OD BAJKE DO USPAVANKE – O POEZIJI NASIHE KAPIDŽIĆ-HADŽIĆ
FAIRY TALE TO LULLABY - THE POETRY BY NASIHA KAPIDZIC-HADZIC

Summary/Abstract: Nasiha Kapidižić-Hadžić is a Bosnian-Herzegovinian writer who is known to the public, above all, as an author of children's literature. However, in addition to poetry, prose and drama intended for the youngest readers, Nasiha Kapidžić-Hadžić wrote texts of literary criticism and poems intended for adults. From the first collection of poetry Maskenbal u šumi, which is dominated by fairy-tale spaces and miraculousness, to Vrbaska uspavanka interwoven with ballad and love-song, her poetry has changed in content, structure and meanings that it reflects. Since the poems in the collections Poslanica tiha and Vrbaska uspavanka were not the subject of more thorough literary critical reflections, this work sought to contribute to a better understanding of her literary work. This paper confirms the initial assumption that the author intertwined her own text with oral tradition and in this way influenced the richness of her own lyrical expression. Using the comparative and method of working on the text, the sections that represent oral literature were singled out, and then their function in the poetry of Nasiha Kapidžić-Hadžić was determined. Analyzes and interpretations of selected poems have shown that the interference of oral and written literature helped the poet to express her thoughts to herself and the world, but also reveals Nasiha Kapidžić-Hadžić as a poet immersed in oral tradition.
