FROM POETIC REQUIEM TO POETIC LITURGY. Over the poem The Blue Tomb—Vido by Milosav Tešić

Summary/Abstract: On the hundredth anniversary of the Salonika Front breakthrough, Milosav Tešić published his poem The Blue Tomb—Vido, in the Politika’s Culture Supplement (September 15 2018, p. 6). The poem has been rightfully ranked both in terms of the contemporary poetic moment, as well as in terms of the spiritual vertical of Serbian poetry and culture. First readers and listeners of the author’s reading have instantaneously recognized its beauty, permeation of luminous patriotic sentiments with the specter of melancholic sensuality, and the devout appeal of two of the poet’s great predecessors, Milutin Bojić and Ivan V. Lalić. The poem has subsequently been published in the collection Apparition of a Circle, accompanied with, according to the poet’s well-known custom, certain notes provided in the ‘Glossary’ at the book’s end.
