POETRY AND ISLANDS A SURVEY ON PARALLELS OF M. CAMAJ’S POETRY THROUGH ELIOT TO HEANEY

Summary/Abstract: The poet writes not with his reader in mind, but with his resembles one. For this reason, the poets who significantly exceed the time to which they belong, are projected themselves in an insular world, whose vesper lights, foreshadow and orient the purpose of poetry. Because the poets are these scattered islands, and the lights that illuminate more in that timeless cosmic night, is the multiplicity of the poetic discourse, which aims to communicate much longer the light. To be projected in this world of timeless imagination, should as a poet, do create right relationships with the poetic tradition to which you belong, the European poetic traditions and beyond, and the contemporaries. Martin Camaj and Seamus Haney are such poets / islands, the self-sufficient within their language, even more exacting and thrust deep into the language and the writing culture, part of which they are, and at the same time, well oriented according to the second half of the 20-th century poetry. Precisely for reasons of this self-sufficiency, the comparison of their poetry in terms of influence, with the aim to determine their poetry as such is, of course, unsuccessful. Influences, overlaps, are transient and the intertextuality approaches is suggestive, always toward the inauguration of an authorial poem. In a time which the comparative approach as an intertextuality parallel, values and features, intertemporal communication, without ignoring the poetic systems, where the authors are part, is more affordable even to provide generalizations about the poetry and the poet. Through our short study we give a textual approach of the poetry of Albanian poet Martin Camaj with that of T. S. Eliot and S. Heaney, as to both Camaj and Heaney we find textual relationships with Eliot's poetry.
