Poezia e Gasper Palit
Gasper Pali’s poetry

Summary/Abstract: Gasper Pali, is one of the authors who were not “denied” by official criticism during the second half of the last century, there were some articles about him, though not numerous. However, because his work was not published frequently and was absent in school anthologies, his remained a little known or unknown by the readers. In this paper we have combined the historical look - reflecting the treatment that was made to the author in the 1945-1990 studies - with the interpretation of some poet's poems. Pali belongs to that group of authors who had the bad luck to have a short life, a modest volume poem, distributed to the press organs and left in the script, but with values noted at the time of publication. Not rarely Gasper Pali's poems are related to Migjeni's poetry, and he was considered an author who could not reach the levels of Migjeni, and was not interested in social protests, but was focused only on his spiritual world. The two authors published their creations on the press pages without having the fortune to publish their poems in a book. When this happened as in the case of Migjeni, the work failed to communicate at that time (1936) with the reader. Pali's poetic image is unique and has its own favourite elements: twilight, shadows, skies, stars. Also visions and dreams have the main weight in his poetic vocabulary. His poetic universe is conquered by the vibrations. Numerous and continuous vibrations, a pulsation and waving that passes from the man to the space. Vibrations, sometimes as a wave, like heartbeat and pulsation, give the rhythm of poetry and transmit the extreme poet sensitivity. The poetic universe becomes one with the poet's heartbeat. Gasper Pali's poetry is one of the most interesting of the poetic creativity written in the 1930s and '40s. As an expression of a high sensitivity, of an introvert nature, this work should take its place in the history of Albanian poetry.
