Then the basic poetic postulates of neosymbolist poetry are considered and the tendency toward fixed forms as a kind of relation to tradition is highlighted. Finally, the first chapter brings the overview of the corpus - bibliography of forms in poetic books. The second chapter presents the awareness of the significance of the form tangible in the explicit poetics of these poets. It also underlines the literary and historical context of Serbian neosymbolist poetry, which indicates the influence of both European and Serbian modern poetry, as well as the activation and modernization of poetic tradition.
