Summary/Abstract: Since some of the crucial Expressionist features have been diagnosed in the poetry of Miloš Crnjanski, but his actual relation with the main Expressionist poets has not been researched, the author of this paper seeks to determine the structural and topical affinities of Miloš Crnjanski’s and Georg Trakl’s poetries. The poetics of Expressionism establishes the abstract as the dominant category of the poetic universe that rearranges the reality. The permanent tendency of the lyrical subject in Trakl’s poems, and of the poet himself, is to find the correlations between disparate subject matters and to found a „higher reality” on such grounds. The ambition of this paper’s author is to reveal this principle, or at least its rudimentary form, manifesting in various aspects of Miloš Crnjanski’s work.
