Summary/Abstract: In an effort to be, as much as possible, in the service of poetry and of the award-winning poet, of the Matica srpska and the Zmaj Award, we have given up on delivering a solemn speech praising the laurate and opted, instead, to delve into the intricacies of a few poems selected for tonight’s program, and thus demonstrate, most obviously, why Miroslav Aleksić is this year’s laureate. In the book of selected and new poems Travarev naslednik (The Herbalist’s Heir), which just appeared in the “Višnjić Prize” edition, there are at least fifty, if not more, similar, and even better poems, and there is not a single bad one.
